Anybody have any issues with the hydraulic lifters that came in the old Purple Camshaft kits?

HydraulicSolid or hydraulic?
I guess its just adjusting I need to do since I've done the initial break inHyd.? Never an issue though multiple different camshafts from mild to wild, street grinds to oval track grinds to 12 sec. bracket cams.
Got engine going & did the usual 20 minute break in on the cam & everything was good. Did a couple more start ups with different RPM changes & motor ran great. Went to start back up the other day & noticed a lifter tap on driver's side that I didn't have before. I have Toth Aluminum heads with adjustable rockers. I'm figuring things are just settling in & that I need to go back & adjust the valves again.What kind of issues are you having?
It was just one lifter doing this. I took the lifter out & took it apart & found no issues. I'm thinking just soak it oil again,pump it up,& reinstall it. Maybe things just settling in?Probably. lifters went in, not to tight? Easy slide up and down well beyond there normal traveling limits? Un obstructed oil flow tongue lifter?
I'm just thinking about the spring in the lifter may just settled just enough to start the tapping. How much do you adjust your adjustable rockers? I know everybody has different ways but I know some have that certain way that seems to work better than just the normal way!The only thing I ever noticed is sometimes they get jammed up. Why? IDK. Settling in? I don’t see it that way. I’m not sure how they would have to settle in.
