get a bottle of Mystery Oil. It will cure a lifter tick in about 1 day. I swear to god. I have used it on three separate vehicles to cure a lifter tick that drove me crazy, including one on my GTP! Just dump it in the oil, and after about 1 day you will not hear it anymore, promise.

you can pick it up at your local part store for like 10 bucks.
I went thru this big time search for a lifter tick on my Quad 4. I took each lifter apart, cleaned the check balls, soaked them, did a leak down test on the bench with each one. Put it all back together... still had a tick. I tried swapping new cam tower carriers... still had a tick. I fought this tick for years. Finally some one suggested i try Marvel. I put it in, and it freakin worked! the engine sounded perfect afterwards, i was stoaked. I put it in ANY engine that has ticking now and it always fixes me right up. What have you got to lose, give it a shot.
