Full rollers are noisier than regular rockers. As long as it is a "tick" & not a "clacking" noise, you are OK. I have a set of Crane gold race 1.6's on my LT1 in my Formula & you can deffinantly hear them.

It should only depend on whether you have a hydraulic or solid lifter camshaft. Solids do make some minor noise as the clearances are not zero.
