okay, the tranny shop (me) got all the bolts in and tight.

ok, this may sound stupid but bear with me. The noise wasn't there before and I assumed it was the clutch. A friend came over and listened and suggested that it's coming from the front of the engine (lifter not getting oil), not the clutch. The truck is up on ramps and we think that once it gets level, the lifters will quiet down once the oil can reach them. I'll adjust the clutch pedal and drop it down and I think I'll find he was right.
