Possibly the rope seal was not compressed properly and there is a gap or insufficient molding of the seal to the groove. I believe others have converted to the neoprene seals as a matter of course and maybe not a bad idea just to have the less fussy technology.

As I recall there was mention of a plug for one of the oil galleries buried inside the distributor hole that was accidentally left out and engine had varied problems. With good oil pressure doubt that is the cause of any lifter noise but something to think about.
