We replaced one of the lifters and now there is no more noise . We were able to easily get it through the cylinder head with a magnet. Thanks guys

sometimes on a 318 a lifter can be replaced without removing the intake, use a magnet

"Dumb ***", certainly not, however, having replaced dozens of lifters I was amazed you had one that wouldn't come thru, specially after going down and lining up 2 diff "J" heads, an "X", and a "596", (see pix) only to find, as you can plainly see, you can drop lifters through all but a few openings,, so I have to ask, did you try moving it to a different opening.? If the answer is "no", you may have answered your own question.. lol
What OEM head is it?
cheers
As you can see in pictures it is a 714 head. A 302 type casting. Believe me if it would have gone thru anywhere, that is where it would have gone! got the job done, but still took off intake to replace the complete set of lifters and a new camshaft. Went with solids. In the Mopar world there are no absolutes

I was agreeing with you.

Is it possible the flash is different on different years and castings? (Of course it is)
Maybe he's right about his engine and you are right about yours.
My neighbor took his car in three times for lifter noise at idle and when it came down to it he simply didn't have enough oil pressure at hot idle to get a pump up volume of oil to that lifter.

MIRACLE IN A CAN LOL. Trans Valve Fix (TVF) Always worked for me. You can put it in the oil or transmission.
Im sorry, just got wrong post quote. I just found it hard to believe anyone would think anyone would grind off metal inside an engine if it did not need to be done. I guess if I was blind...... all is good.
