Default YB rattle.....HELP

...after putting new lifters in its totally quiet....BUT when i drive it under load it rattles slightly..sounds just like an exhaust type rasp/rattle (may even be,not checked that area yet)..past 3k revs it dissapears...its annoying...is it anything to be concerned about?

As nutter, i had a big end bearing go - and i would have bet money it was something at the top, as it was a a light tap.

Oil pressure will be good if it's just one bearing - the oil pump just works harder to maintain the releif valve pressure. This doesn't mean all your bearings are getting pressure though.
