    You could swap lifters lol. Does it do it all the time? Do you have a video?

    Try going up a hill in 3rd gear, I'm willing to bet it wont make the noise.

    When the car is n 4th gear its working alot harder to get up that hill, hence the noise. In 3rd gear the rpms are higher and its not working as hard.
