There is no way a rag in the oil pan or suction tube will make just one lifter tick...A ticking lifter is not a BIG deal and usually happens on cars with high miles ect..He's trying to rip you off for sure. To take the oil pan off. You would have to drop the cradel or pull the motor wich is a pretty decent amount of work. Tell the jerk off to go play games with someone else and get you're car back.
