Then he "half-assed" the job. If you have a lifter that took a dump, then the only way to fix it is to pull the heads and replace them. What cam is in it? He didn't change the pushrods? If you are getting a tapping noise, it could simply be a bent pushrod. I would check that first before pulling the heads.
