Default Lifter going symptoms

Don't know if this is my problem yet but when I did the cam swap we used LS7 lifters and I have been reading some stories here. Car doesn't sputter, pop or carry on like anything is wrong. Oil pressure is fine, etc... When I hit on it though something on the passenger side is making a slap noise that hasn't been there in the past. Wasn't even there after the cam install for the last couple thousand miles. I can't tell if it carries up in the R's because things get too loud.

Possibly but it never has and I haven't changed a thing.

Check it - stick some non-burning stuff up there, or something that will show a mark if it hits. could also be part of the exhaust coming loose - it's something easy to check
