Noise from lifters
I recently had headers and exhaust put on my 72. Within a week, it sounded like I had an exhaust leak. Upon further inspection, the noise, which increases with RPM, is coming from the block. Appears to be lifters on both sides.
Any miracle fixes out there? Maybe trying a different viscosity oil? Recommendations?
Thanks y'all.

^^^THIS. Sounds like an exhaust leak. I suspect the header bolts are loose. Welcome to header ownership. Use Remflex gaskets if you have to replace them. Follow the installation torque instructions carefully.
