My were loud until I started using AMSOIL Z-Rod. Weird that an oil designed for flat tappet cams would solve that problem, but it did. Howard's HYD roller lifters BTW, I've run em hard and never had a problem. I was running Comp solids on a HYD profile in my previous engine and had a very similar failure.
