When I had similar symptoms on my Healey, one very noisy lifter which
quieted down when I slipped a in a feeler gauge, it turned out to be a
worn cam lobe.

I am having difficulty trying to adjust the valve on #6 rocker on my
"78 MGB. I have replaced the rocker itself, but it is still noisy.
Something  I have tried is to slide a feeler gauge into the gap while
the engine is running. That quiets it to a normal level. Could it be a
worn valve, tappet, cam lobe? The big question is whether I should
pull the head at this point to investigate further? Any advice would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sam
