As the valve lifters wear they will tend to bleed down if the oil pressure is relieved from the system, EX: oil filter removed. Chances are it will be a while before they will bleed down overnight. At that point they will have to be replaced... This one you can do yourself for sure. Just get your hands on a good repair manual. R. Bentley makes a great book...
