Valve adjustment need was questionable.  Sometimes it takes forever for the
lifters to pump up.  However, you probably have a bad lifter.  This is very
common.  Frequenr start/stops of engine, especially not allowing it to warm
up fully will often cause a lifter to loose it,s prime.  It will then tap
somtimes for 20 minutes or more.  
Keep on plugggin and lots of luck,
Dennis.


PS. I know you will straighten it out eventualy,  keep the faith.
