Did you happen to change the oil when you did this? I have the revised lifters also and have had them tick on me once...so I changed the oil and all is well again:)

[Theorem]

I haven't changed the oil yet. I still have like 1-2k miles on the oil.

well, you can't change your oil enough...kind of like a timing belt :D

[Theorem]

I agree with you, right now it's raining like heck. Are there any other explanations to why they are still making noises. I probably change the oil tomorrow and see if it will eliminate the problem

Maybe the lifters need to be bled of any air. There are a few good threads on it here.

How do you bled the air out the lifters ? I really need help

not sure if you still have the balance shaft but when i replaced my "lifter tick" i later found out that the balance shaft pulley was basically ticking almost the exact same noise as the usual lifter noise. Is the noise constant or louder upon start-up?

Wrong weight oil?

[Theorem]

Oil is 10-30W, usually it doesn't make the ticking noise when i first start the engine

Did you ever find out what was wrong?
