Greggy there is no point in argueing just for the sake of it! We do not disagree on anything except the ONE WORD. It is pretty obvious that the lifter has cleaned itself out and now is working.
Again: Lifters that "speak" on startup have leaked down during their off time. Upon receiving oil pressure again if they shutup they will preform as required.
PUMP UP from high pressure or rpm is rare indeed. Although a possibility under extreme conditions it is rarely seen and never by me.
