never been the cure for noisey lifters. It's as simple as oil supply and pressure. With a sludged motor the bearing clearances are so big that the oil leaks out before it can get to the lifters, or when the engine is stopped the oil runs out and is displaced by air. When the engine is started the air is pushed into the lifters and it will take a few minutes to bleed out. Never seen a failed 16 valve lifter.
Also with a sludged motor the piston oiling is insufficient and one good pull up a hill will scuff the piston skirts and you have piston slap and eventually broken pistons. Don't waste your time trying to fix the unfixable.
