hey guys any body had any problems with these lifters?? i  have a pal who runs these in  a 340 demon and they seem to make an awful clattering noise,motor was just rebuilt by me  and the lifters and cam were the only things we did not change

Rhoads lifters are noisy by nature, that's how they vary the duration, by pumping down at low rpm's.

I also think they were designed for high lift cams in low compression engines.
