Many of these parts come off the assembly line with water based cleaners and solvents that can cause some sludge in the lifter body. It's what Lunati directed me to do with my set of noisy lifters.

It may or may not do anything for you, but it's something cheap that can be tried without needing to open up the engine.
Did it help quiet down your Lunati lifters?
