If the lifters on the 228 are excessively noisy in spite of repetitive adjustments, check the tips of the rocker arms at the valve stems. If there is a deep groove in the rocker tips, the wide feeler gauge won't read the true gap between the rocker tip and the end of the valve stem. The rocker tips can be dressed and polished to remove the grooves.
