It got so hot that it must have stretched the adjuster bolt on the lifters i see that somebody else had the excact problem do u now if he ever got it fixed
If its been so hot the head is probably warped and in need of skimming and a new head gasket.
Now how would any one at fixya site know if some body fix the engine properly
WELL no we don't
but we do know that you method of fixing is a failure as short cuts seldom work
Pull the head , have it machined flat , fit new head gasket , use all new head studs and replace any other bolts that are suspect
That will be well on the way to doing the job properly

The next time you do an oil change, put a liter of tranny fluid in with the oil BEFORE you change it. Let it run for an hour or two.The tranny fluid will clean out the gunk that causes your lifters to stick.Now do your oil change. Do this each time you change your oil, only use a 1/2 liter each time. You will be amazed at the difference, I was.

if it sounds like it is trying to start you possibly have the firing order off. if that is not the case I would recheck the timing of belt to make sure you dont have one tooth off. stuff like that is so aggrivating, but if you have fuel and fire all you are missing is compression,if firing order isnt off, valves not being completely closed whent they need to be. due to improper timing.

sealers usually end up costing you more in the long term than the short term. these sealers react to heat and air. so you end up doing nothing more than plugging up you radiator, water passage ports, water pumps get damaged. causing more over heating problems than they solve. no i would go for what the shop gave you as a quote. that seems a pretty reasonable quote for the position you are in.
SOURCE: LIfter Noise.
The automatic valve adjustor not allow you to set the valve gap.If it is making bad noise then it needs replacement.When changing valve lifters, it is recommended that the lifters are
allowed to "settle/seat" for a minimum of 30 minutes to allow excess
oil to drain. If this recommendation is not followed, some valves will
make contact with the piston, resulting in the valve to break at the
collet groove. It is also ideal if the engine is allowed to rest over
night before starting the engine for the first time. If possible, the
engine should be hand cranked or turned by hand the first time.
