noisy hydralic lifter

I took replaced the rings on my engine, finally got it started and now have one noisy hydraulic lifter. The car is a 51 300 with the 327. The noisy lifter is in the front of the engine. Is there way to locate exactly which lifter is noisy before taking the head off?
Thanks in advance, also I would like to thank McGyver and Ross for their help on this Forum. I replaced my 51 trans with a 53 trans (the flywheels and trans to drive shaft are different),runs beautiful now, I followed Ross' instructions for adjusting the linkage and I had all the gears with the initial adjustment. I took McGyver's advise regarding using the red scotch bright pads to smooth out the cylinder honing. I used a 4" cotton wheel usually used for polishing, wrapped the pad around it and used my hand drill the re-hone (with the pads) the cylinder walls. Worked like a champ, no problems starting, and I don't burn oil anymore.
Thanks, again
