I'm replying to the list as well as to Mark, because I thought others 
might have a similar question.  All I can say is to add to my earlier 
comments that since I switched AWAY from synthetic oil (temporarily) 
my lifters have been much noisier.  Before, I didn't notice any lifter 
noise at all.  Now, I do.  Occasionally it is a bit irritating.

Go figure.......
