Lifter noise
Check the service manual. They are NOT hydraulic lifters.
There is a procedure for valve lash adjustment. Looks quite involved. It entails changing shims as opposed to turning an adjusting screw.
Also do a search on the topic on this site. There are a number of good posts. One is a link to a company that sells a tool to make the job easier.
Some people advised a different oil viscosity to quiet things down
