Valve Lifter noise

[tom.wagner@Central.Sun.COM (Tom Wagner - Program Manager)]

Can someone tell me how to get
rid of valve noise??  I have a 67
B with a knocking noise that I think
is the lifters rattling.

I would like to know how to do it
and also how to prevent oil from
going everywhere when the valve cover is
removed.

Many MOONS ago, I saw my dad do it on
a 52 Buick, and I was under the impression
that it can be messy.

I know there is help out there.

Thanks
