This sounds like a lifter noise problem. This is a typical problem on OHV Packard V8s due to the inadequate oil pump. There has been quite a lot of discussion on this subject if you look for it. The most drastic solution is a larger Oldsmobile oil pump, they sell an adapter for this. There may be other things you can do without tearing your engine apart. Hope some of the real experts chip in on this.
