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.
