Find the leaks and tighten the bolts. Also you may want to try some heavy grade of oil...not too heavy but perhaps a grade or two heavier than what is currently in the engine. Also,there are some additives which can thicken oil and you can pick these up at an Auto Parts store.

Fuel injectors can stick and sound like lifters but not as loud. Lifters of course. The speed of the ticking would help, one or two cylindars or all of them? A spark jumping, but there should be some loss of performance.
