Clacking sound after lifters replacemed

Asking for a friend (yes for real). Replaced the lifters due to ticking and now there’s a clacking sound. No noticeable vibrations. Any ideas? Doesn’t sound like lower end.

Did you get all the rocker arms snapped back in properly? That would be my first check

I asked that right away, he says they are all properly in place and fit fine.

First why did you have to replace the lifters? just ticking sound, nothing more ?
second, was there any noise at all before hand ?
How many miles on motor?

sorry for hacking your thread but tommudd's question is actually where im at with my liberty one of my rocker arms came off. I took off the valve cover today I don't know if I'm replacing lifters or rockers or both???

He replaced them due to ticking. There was no other noise. I’m unsure of miles but can check.
