Is there an audible difference between noise from lifters and noise from worn rockers.

I know my stud mount rockers are starting to wear at the rotating shaft.

Will lifter noise fade as rpm/oil pressure is increased?

The lifters are stock hyd rollers, and the rockers are al 1.6RR.

thanks

Lifters will often quiet up as oil pressure pumps them up.

the higher ur rpms get the quieter your lifters get because of higher oil pressure.

That's what I figured. Good news, actually since I already have new rockers soaking in oil.

Thanks guys
