Collapsed Hydraulic Valve lifter? Try chemical available at auto parts store The ticking is your lifters. They may just need cleaning. Try a can of Seafoam Motor Treatment . It is an excellent product I have used for years. Pour it into the crankcase and run the engine for 500 miles then change the oil & filter. Follow the directions on the can. You do not have to drain any oil out just add a full can of Seafoam. You can purchase it at most Auto Parts stores, marine stores, and at some Walmarts. You may have to do this two times to get good results. Also make sure you are using the correct weight oil, which in your case would be 5w30. Also install an AC/Delco filter. The AC/Delco is one of the best filters you can buy. If you cannot find and AC/Delco install a Purolator or Wix filter. If none of this works seek professional help.

Constant tick in the engine of 1997 Elantra Have already changed the timing belt?

If the ticking is coming from the top of the engine it is likely the Hydraulic (valve) Lash Adjusters.A fresh oil change using a quality oil and ***an OEM filter from the dealership*** should clear the noise up within 15 minutes of driving.Use of a non-OEM filter can cause valve train ticking noise.

Why would a 1997 Dodge Caravan engine make a tapping-ticking noise that went away after warming up but now is constant and seems to come from the top of the engine?

The 3.0L engine had a problem with the lifters that would cause the top end to tick. There is a TSB i believe on how to fix it. If the ticking is coming from the bottom of the engine (sometimes hard to tell) then you might have a Con-Rod knock that starting to show. Eitherway take it to a mechanic for diagnoses.
