first make sure its a lifter and not a exhaust leak. get a piece of cardboard and see if putting it between the exhaust manifold and yourself makes the noise gets quiter. make sure u dont cover the valve covers. what wt of oil are u using?

If it is lifter noise, the rocker arm may need adjustment, or a pushrod got bent, otherwise the lifter is bad and needs replacement. When is the last time the oil was changed, and what weight oil are you using?
