Try that Nulon Superior Engine treatment it says it last upto 80k's not sure how true that is But also before hand run a bottle of Nulon Oil Flush 10 mins idleing before doing oil / filter change hopefully should solve Ticking noise Good Luck Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

yeah i had to replace the lifters on my car, the previous owner didnt change the oil regularly and caused the rocker assembly to sluge up, therefore no oil going to lifters so they seized. if its a knocking noise its lifters, if its a ticking noise(not loud) its just injectors going. had to have my whole assembly acid dipped for 24 hours and new lifters cost me $47 each and there are 12 of them!
