Lifter noise

[Tin Man]

Amc 360 serious lifter clacking from #8...rocker is adjusted, new oil, tried additives....clackity clackity clack! Any ideas? I know the AMC V-8s run pretty low oil pressure at idle, but this thing is noisy throughtout the rpm range. Thanks in advance for your help.

collapsed lifter...or worn pushrod/lifter/rocker arm....hey I got a good set of rockers laying here want me to send you one.. I may even have a couple of good pushrods that arent worn

Thanks for the insight and the offer, but I'f I'm going to yank the intake, shouldn't I replace all the lifters and p/rs...maybe even do a cam change? Was hoping it was a simple fix....lol. Thanks!
