Thanks, we did end up purchasing the other 8 lifters and putting them
all in. We put everything back together and we are still getting the
same exact sound.

We checked the cranshaft and also pushed down on the rods while they in
the engine. All of the springs compressed down, so the springs seem
good.

When the engine runs it sounds like a deasel, and the sound is
defenitley on the entire drivers side head bank.
