Has anybody run these lifters?
I have to rebuild my motor and when it was running, it never ever ever ever ever, stopped ticking thanks to the lifters, These solid lifters, which are shim under bucket, supposedly fit in the little 1.6. And before somebody roasts me for building a 1.6, I'd just like to point out that multiple people have built 1.6's.
These are the lifters - MMD-B6N7-12-183 - Mazdaspeed Motorsports Development solid lifters - MiataRoadster - Stay tuned with MiataRoadster!

If you're disassembling the head, just crack open the lifters and clean out the ancient tar pit oil. If you aren't tearing the head apart, just run the motor with one quart of oil replaced with one quart of ATF for about 10 minutes right before you do an oil change. Probably not something to do while breaking in an engine though.

So the lifters are ticking on a fresh rebuild?
Did you replace the lifters? (or at the very least, clean them out)
Did you prime the lifters before putting them into the head?
Did you prime the oil pump before starting the car?
If you haven't done the rebuild yet, and aren't planning on using cams with a solid lifter profile, then just buy new HLAs.
And just use some oil flush (or ATF, or Diesel) every couple of oil changes to flush the **** out of them.

Fill a small container with the oil
drop the lifters in so they're submerged.
leave it for a few hours until there's no air bubbles coming out.
If you want to speed it up, while the lifters are submerged just pump each one in and out a few times to suck the oil in faster.
