same prob here, I've replaced everything in the top end for my heads cam swap. Even with everything new, I still have that same tick. It even got a little louder when I put on the new heads................................The only thing I could tell you is to check the pushrods. If they are ok then just drive it. Our motors are very noisey by nature of an all aluminum motor.
