These engines would tick if they were low on oil. Try changing the oil and filter and rechecking it. But these engines were also good for having lifters go bad. If the oil change doesn't work, and providing the engine is in good mechanical condition (no sludge build up, etc...) put some lifters in and you should be good to go.

Speaking from experience, first checking the timing cover housing. If the noise is coming from there, you either need to replace the timing set or replaces the oil pump (oil pump went out on mine, and I didn't realize it until it jumped timing.. aka "new engine time")
