Default lifter noise

I have a tapping noise coming from the left side of the engine. I have come to the conclusion that is a bad lifter after checking the injectors and exhaust for leaks. I haven't pulled the valve cover off yet. Just wondering what is the best way to find which lifter is bad?

Its a 95 LT1

Get a $5 stethascope and listern to all the different components to determine where the noise is coing from. Isolate it and be sure where it is. JMO
