On your lifter noise, you might want to try using Mystery Marvel Oil in the engine. With the oil level about a quart low, add a quart of MMO and let the engine run for about a 15 minutes after it gets warm. Repeat the cycle 4 or 5 times and see if that helps. It cured a sticky valve/lifter issue for my '55.

No guarantee, but it doesn't cost a lot and it is easy to try.
