Have you tried adjusting the valves?

Can the hydraulic lifters in the 2.1L motor be removed and replaced without having to replace any other valvetrain components? I seem to have a noisy lifter, and even after a number of tries with mystery oil and the like, it is still noisy. Its usually worst when cold and first started - it does improve somewhat after driving a few hundred miles, but I can still hear the noise.

I was wondering if I could remove them with the motor in place, clean or replace them, and be on my way.
