could somebody walk me thru setting up lifters?
vavle cover was leaking bad so when apart I thought i'd set them up due to some lifter noise.......slight ticking which gets quieter when warm.Does each cylinder have to be at the top of the stroke?Is there any order? any and all help would be great thanks

Hydraulic lifters need to be adjusted with the engine running. You adjust by the sound. You need to cut up an old valve cover to allow you to do this without spilling all the oil everywhere.

The best method I've ever used to adjust lifters is the one recommended by Century Performance Center. I've used it a couple of times now on different engines and it's always produces perfect results. The instructions and an explanation of the procedure are in a tech article on their web site.

a running adjustment is not the best way to do it. the best way to do it is as follows when the intake starts to open adjust the exahust on that cylinder and when the exhaust valve starts to close adjust the intake on that cylinder

I've found that the directions given in most shop manuals are very easy to follow. The ones I have are printed by Hayes. I have one for my truck, and one for my engine (which is a '98 with a roller cam and adjusts the exact same way).

I have done them many ways, engine running and followed by the mess of oil splattering all over, follow book, but the easiest and best way I have found is to bring the lifter down all the way either loosen or tighten till the pushrod just starts to have resistance then tighten 1/2 turn and then move on to the next one.
