Are you sure that the lifters are creating the noise? I have had a 94 LE and a 99 CE Camry 4 cyl. and have had the same noise in the AC compressor. Dealer claimed it was the belts slapping the timing cover and wanted $1,200 to fix. I got the timing belt water pump and all tune up parts for $200 and did it myself. While the sound is still there I found out from a local mechanic that the toyo compressors have a bad habit of rattling like lifters. hope this helped.
AnswerIs it possible that it is time for a oil change?Sometimes a speck of dirt gets in the lifter[s] and that makes them act as solid lifters,thus the noise. ....If your engine is full of oil, drain off a quart of it. It's messy and you have to be quick or you might drain it all. With the engine a quart low add one quart of MARVEL MYSTERY OIL. Drive the car about a hundred miles, include some high speed highway miles. Now do a regular oil and filter change with HIGH QUALITY (NOT WAL-MART OR OTHER NO-NAME BRANDS) 5w30 oil. I prefer Castrol and Valvoline. This should quiet it down. If it does quiet down, change oil again at only 20,000 mile intervals for the next couple of changes going back to the recommended 10w30 oil.The marvel oil flushes caked-on deposits from your lifters as well as from the rest of your internal parts. If the Marvel oil doesn't help, you need to replace the hydraulic lifters.I wish you good luck.
Very Noisy In fact i play and it is very hard you need a long breath

Place a plastic owl near, it will leave.
Yes, that is assault.
Change the ones that are damaged. There are 16 total.
you can try adding "lucas engine oil additive: but pretty much all that is happing is the lifters are little noisy until the oil circulates thru engine and lifters, basically not much you can do about it
After 50.000 miles or so. Also if the car starts to use more fuel than is normal, or if the engine starts to lose power or if the engine starts to get too noisy.
Seafoam Motor Treatment.
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.
While the engine is turned off the oil will drain from the top of the engine. The Lumina has hydraulic lifters and uses oil to move them. The lifters will "tap" until the oil builds up enough to hold them up. Make sure that the engine has enough oil, that the oil pressure is ok, and that the oil does not need changing. If these are ok then an additive may be added to aid in quieting noisy lifters.
There is no valve adjustment on the 2.4 litre 4G64 engine as it has hydraulic lifters fitted, if they are noisy then there are oil additives to clean them or they may need replacing.
I have gone to mobil 1 15/50 this seems to work real good...sometimes I still have to start and turn off the engine right away and this works when the lifters get noisey also
to my knowledge there is no power steering filter i would check my power steering fluid level
1. Make sure it is the lifters and not loose wrist pins. 2. Check the camshaft for wear. When the lobes wear beyond the take-up tolerance of the hydraulic lifters, clicking is the result. Your favorite garage may have an instrument to check actual pushrod movement against what is called for by the published camshaft lift.
Noisy lifters in 2.2 and 2.5 sohc engines are usually indicative of a worn camshaft, as many were replaced under warranty.
Is it a big problem to have noisy tappets in your engine?
