My final fix was to keep driving it, i had swapped the lifters and cam tensioner and the noise progressively got better. I now have over 250k on the engine and it still runs strong.

A side note, I switch from castrol syntec 5w40 to rotella sythentic 5w40 and that seemed to help as well.

Did you break in the lifter to the cam when you first put it in? In that I mean.. after installing new lifters on a cam you have to break them in by holding the engine at a certain rpm AS SOON as the engine first starts.. like my 3.1mpfi you have to start it and instantly go to 2000rpm for a minimum of 10 minutes so the cam lobes properly seat to the new lifters, Otherwise ya wipe the new lifters and cam lobes within weeks-months

This all started when the cam tensioner failed I am assuming i may have barely tapped a valve.

compression #'s are good and ticking has gotten a bit better, i've put the original lifters back in and the noise is the same.

@freak777power yeah, they're easier to get on a tow truck because their compact and twice as expensive to fix because you have to import their parts.

Drop in a Ford flathead V8. Then turbocharge it. If the ticking still persists, you have to leave the galaxy. Or, perform a kind deed.
