The main function of lifters in a motor is to transfer the motion of the camshaft into vertical motion to actuate the valves. This vertical motion allows the valves to open and close at the appropriate times to let air and fuel into the engine and exhaust gases out.

Why is there a ticking noise coming from the block of my 1992 eagle talon AWD turbo 6-bolt motor?

Most likely it's lifter tick. The 1G Talons had horrible lifters and after time, the lifters would get blocked with deposits from used oil. Only good solution is to install 3G lifters in the motor. If your on a budget, try running some seafoam or marvels mystery oil in the crankcase.
