You don't have to get rid of the car. Change the lifters if you know that's what it is. But, if you aren't 100% sure, do the simple stuff first. Look for exhaust leaks,bent pushrods, ect ect..

i changed out the stock lifters for some ls7 lifters on a customers car while doing a heads cam swap and those noises went away!
