Not sure but plumbing should be correct. A couple times back was at Custom Auto, for some engine work and believe Cal would have caught that. But will try to clean things out anyway. Did not check the lifter stem clearance, as they were not changed. Took each one out one at a time, took apart with the twist, cleaned, put back together and put back in. So I did not see a reason to check stem clearance. But, if I take off the head again will do just to make sure. Maybe need to bite the bullet and purchase new lifters. Max Merritt sells the originals at a premium. How are the imported ones from Kanter?
