My 1998 V90 has had noisy lifters since I was rear-ended a few years ago. Has anyone else had this problem and has it been fixed?

Re: noisy lifters (cowdend)

A few years ago?! Man, keep on ROLLING!

My guess is the whiplash impact moved the firewall/underdash sound-absorbing materials a small bit but enough to allow an existing engine noise to become more discernable from inside the car than before the wreck.

Another guess - very slight horizontal displacement of the overhead cams allowing the valve contact point to be displaced from its original position.
