With stock heads and 7.4 PR's you should be ok on lifter preload...
You say the sound is coming from the intake? Not from one side of the engine or the other?

I'd pull the valve covers and double check that all the rockers are tight. You can also try to push on the push rods and see if one feels different than the others. It's a long shot, but you may be able to tell if a lifter is bad that way.
