Default Re: Lifter noise

I have a 2006 Tundra and I just had my valves adjusted. Before I had them adjusted the engine was making a loud tapping noise. At first thought it was a sticky lifter so I put some cleaner in to help free it up but that didn't work. I took it to the dealer which they found one of the keepers on the valve was out of clearance and had to replace it. So I had it replaced and they said they ran the engine and there was noise coming from the other side to which they checked the clearances and then adjusted the valves.

Upon return of the vehicle they told me what it was and they fixed it. However, from their fix I now have a noise coming from the driver side which is almost as loud as the tapping before. The noise does not go away after the engine is warm. I am a little concerned about what the problem is so anybody out there let me know if you have any fixes????????
