You mentioned that the lifters are making noise. Does that noise go away after warm up?
If you suspect that there is varnish/sludge in the engine, you might want to investigate running a bottle of Auto Rx to help clean things out. Back in the old "red block" days, it was common practice to add a quart or so of kerosene to the oil to clean out the engine. Some, like my dad, would run the engine for 15-20 minutes with copious amounts of kerosene and then flush out all of the dirt. It appeared to work, considering the amount of junk in the oil bucket. Auto Rx just seems safer :)
