Isn't that for a lifter that is noisy after initial
startup?  I have the opposite problem - quiet at
startup, but then gets noisy.

But to answer your question, i did try the 0.006"
thing, and then ran it for maybe 10 minutes (not that
i 100% trust my lifter adjustment skills).  After
preloading the lifters again, i thought it fixed the
noisy lifter... but sure enough, a few minutes later
clickety clack.

What is failing inside the lifter to lose it's prime
(or whatever you want to call it), after it has been
running?

Thanks for all the suggestions.
