You could try running a flush chemical in the engine oil just prior to changing the oil, and then using synthetic oil. This may free up the little tiny valve in the lifters and reduce the noise. At the very least, it will help prolong their life. It is a very big expensive job to change these because they are generally replaced as a set and they are not cheap, but replacement is often the only true fix.

Is there a lifter adjustment on 3.2 Isuzu motor

this engine uses hydraulic lifters or lash adjusters as honda calls them. if there is noise, you must either perform the tsb from honda 97-076, or replace the lifters. you can check them by removing the valve covers and slightly rock the lifters back and forth to see if there is abnormal movement. there should be slight pressure against the cam lobes at all times.

Leak from the rear main seal

There's only one way to fix it and that is to replace it. This requires separating the engine and transmission and lowering the oil pan. It is best left to a mechanic. hope this helps.

Lifter knocks loud what does the knock sensor do

Knock sensor is for detonation problems. These are not related to a valve problem such as yours. Your problem could be a collapsed lifter.
