re: rocker,lifter tap i6 300
If you have the adjustable rocker arms you tighten until it just stops clicking and then give it about another half to three quarters of a turn. If it has a bad lifter this will make it miss as there is no oil cushion in the lifter and it will be holding the valve open. If you have the zero lash style just tighten the nut until it bottoms out I think. Check for bent pushrods.
BTW you have very good selective hearing if you can't tell which cylinder it is on.

Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.
