I have done More small and big block Chevy’s then I can count for decades prior without issue but in the last five years replacement parts in the supply chain have become so bad and unreliable I can no longer put together an engine I can stand behind because of it. I can think of 4 engines in the last five years I have had a hand in that have the exact problem you are speaking of. Noisy lifters when the engine is hot. In my personal opinion I really believe it is defective lifters in every case but I do not have definitive proof.
