If your going to pull the motor and then tear it down I would replace all. Make sure to measure the bore and make sure its not scored or egg shaped. I feel your pain. I bought a Lingenfelter 383 that rattled. I refused to believe it was the new motor. Went through and changed heads and lifters. Finally found out that the motor had excessive piston to wall clearance and scored up the new block. Find a good local machine shop you can trust and set up the piston to wall cearance no more than .002 at the skirt to keep it quiet. Of course I also blew up the motor the good local guy built for me so my head has hit the brick wall a few times too!! LOL
