16 The 1998 is an 8 cylinder engine. Each cylinder has two lifters. One lifter is for the intake and one lifter is for the exhaust.
The 4.3L would have 12 hydraulic lifters.
bad lifters will rattle when engine is running at idle you will hear anything from clicking in engine to rapid tapping,depending on how bad and how many lifters are bad if vehicle has hydraulic lifters check for proper oil level in cngine

As you give very little information as to make, model, engine size or year, and exactly when it is ticking, this is just an educated guess. Normally this is valve noise caused by valve clearance issues. If it has solid lifters then they need adjusting. If it has hydraulic lifters, they may be clogged and sticking. If it has hydraulic lifters try adding a can of Seafoam engine tune to a fresh oil filter change. It can be purchased at many auto parts stores. Drive the car for 500 miles and change the oil and filter again. You may have to do this more than once to remove the deposits in the lifters. If this does not work, then the valve stems or lifters are worn, and need adjustment or possible replacement.
There are 2 lifters per cylinder. So there are 8.
That would depend on how many valves each cylinder has and the location of the camshaft.
The motor on the Mx-3 is an overhead cam engine. Due to the nature of the Mx-3 overhead cam engine, the lifters never need to be tightened. There are spacers in between the valves and the camshaft that do wear out, and will need to be replaced every now and then(many miles may be accumulated before this needs to be done however). Any Mazda dealership, or Mazda certified mechanic can do this, as it takes special tools/knowledge to do so. The lifters are also hydraulic and automatically adjust. If they are colapsed try using marvel mystery oil.
12 lifters.
V-8 engines have 16 lifters and the V-6 engines have 12 lifters.
