My 235 from a ‘59 passenger with hydraulic lifters has the same issue. The lifters that you buy lately all suffer from the same issue. Some are good, others make noise from day one. I have two lifters that make noise but once my truck warms up, the noise goes away. I’ve heard on this forum that the noise, as long as it goes away, is not an issue.
