Re: 327 lifter noise after drive

Just an update... I've been doing body work on the car so haven't been driving much and therefore haven't tried thicker oil yet. A little while ago I took the car to an out of town show (Midnight Mass in Woodland). About 30-40 miles one way. A bit more than half way there the lifter noise started again. Temp gauge read right under 180, it was a cooler evening. After the show there was no noise until about half way home again. I have a good oil cooler that was on my VW when I bought it (I went back to a stock cooler), what are some thoughts on plumbing it in? I'm also going to pick up some Motor Honey or something later on to see what happens.
