If it was rebuilt wrong, Yes
unless you know previous owners, you pretty much cannot tell if rebuilt
If it is on a 4.7L engine, and the oil pressure is ok, then the lifters are failing.
Because maybe something inside the engine did break loose. For example lifters, rods, pistons, exc. too many things to list that may have broken loose. You may need a new or used engine or rebuilt old engine.
Bent/broken valves, lifters, pistons, etc. Major engine damage.

There is no adjustment for hydraulic valve lifters. Lifters can be noisy on some of these models. After ascertaining there is no mechanical damage/broken parts, change engine oil and add 1/2 bottle of STP Oil Treatment (or more if necessary) until lifters are quieter.
typically no it should be hydraulic lifters unless someone has changed the cam and lifters in the engine.

You have to remove the engine cylinder heads to get to the lifters on the 5.3.
That engine has a ROLLER CAM AND ROLLER LIFTERS
