What does that process run normally? does the engine have to be pulled?

Thanks for the input.

Update- Problem solved...

Put a quart of ATF in the oil, ran for 30 miles, noise gone, lifter loose. Changed oil and filter today, quite as a mouse. Read about this fix on other forums and heard about it back when i was working on Alfa's. I can say it worked. :dance:

How did ATF oil fix a Loose lifter?

wouldnt think 1 qt of ATF in with 9 quarts or motor oil would be enough to even do anything?
