How much have you done to clean the by treating the oil with a hydraulic
lifter cleaner/treatment.
I'd keep doing that for a while. Eventually it could straighten itself out.

If you want to replace lifters without removing the head/s .......means
you'd need to use a spring loaded pushrod tube wherever you replace a
lifter.
I have a set of those - but they leaked some. I don't trust them that much.

I seem to have the reverse of most lifter problems - my lifters pump down
when cruising at a steady 60 mph and higher, but pump back up after a few
miles off the highway.  One lifter in particular gets especially loud.
What's going on?  Do I just replace/adjust the lifters?
