I ran one fore a year that made 3psi hot idle. Never rattled a lifter. Was running fine. It was thrust bearings on that motor. I think the PO installed the harmonic with a hammer and that was the cause.

Main bearings are cheap. If it's a other wise good running engine with good compression then tossing some bearings it it will buy you a couple more years out of it.
