thank you everybody who responded to my cry for help.  everybody said
lifters and, guess what, it was the #4 lifter.  collapsed.  i took her in to
westport automotive in louisville.  very nice guy, very busy, extremely
reasonable price.  i also had a broken lash cap (?), which also contributed
to the noise.

i'm going to stick around and have him flush and replace my coolant next
week.  then i'm off to bonnaroo.  if you see a gold westy with texas horned
lizard plates, come by and say hi.

mary
