I too have had noisy lifters in my SPG, and I tried all the tests that are published about locating bad lifters in the head (listening with mechanics stethescope, pushing down lifters when hot, pushing down lifters when cold, etc.). None of these tests identified a bad lifter!
I finally just bought some new ones (4) and swapped them in on the exhaust side cylinders 3 and 4. It helped somewhat, and I'll probably kick down for another 4 sometime soon. I'm making the assumption that it was exhaust side - anyone know which are more likely to fail?
The best price I found on new lifters was $17 each from eeuroparts.
