i personally would reccomend using oil system flush/ cleaner.
just drain you oil and get a cheap new filter. buy a few quarts of the cheap oil and some cleaner. fill it, put on your filter, add the cleaner(all while the engine is still hot) start it up and let it idle for a few minutes or however long suggested in the instructions. then drain it all out again. remove the filter. put in your good oil and filter and you are done. and start changing your oil more often from then on. if the ticking doesn't go away, then you need new lifters. get the upgraded 3g lifters.
