Does a 8N with side-mount distributor have adjustable valve lifters? I purchased one that makes a tapping sound when engine is running. The noise comes and goes. Oil gauge reads 35 psi warm. Noise doesn't sound like a rod brg maybe a piston slapping! Thanks,Tx Jim

Since this is a mechanical lifter engine, if the noise comes and goes, it is NOT a mis-adjusted valve.

Adjustable tappets (valve lifters) were an option that was installed at a later point. IIRC, they were not a standard feature when the Ns were purchased new from the dealer.
