question about possible lifter noise

Thanks Gelbster. Something like LN's adapter and the corresponding filters are what you're talking about, right? After seeing your post and reading about them that seems to be a smart path to take.

The down side to the spin-on filters is that it makes it harder to check the filter material, as you need to cut the filter can to get to it. That said, I use a spin on filter.

I think the key is to use a quality oil and change it every 5k or less, especially if you see track time or extended periods of high RPM running. My issue started after a cross-country trip with the engine at 3k+ RPM for about 14 hours each way.
