Default lifter problem

First off my valvetrain seems to be really noisy anyone else with TFS stuff have the same problem. My other question is im having a pretty bad lifter noise coming from the drivers side. I had the problem a cople months ago adjusted them and it went away for awhile. I adjusted them saturday and the noise was gone until today. I went down to zero lash and than 3/4 turn. before this time I had them adjusted to 1/2 turn. Thats all I know to do any sug would be apprec.

I hate to say it but those are symptoms of a cam going flat. Are the adjustors backing off? Are the studs pulling up? You might try removing the oil filter and cutting it open and looking for metal. If it is clean then the cam is probably ok.

ps do those heads have screw in studs? Maybe they are not tight.

The cam has got less than 1000 miles on it so I would hope its not that.

You adjusted both rocker per cylinder when both valves were closed right?
