Had the tick start at 400miles. Went to Synthetic at 900miles. Tick is still very apparent. I'm at 4400 right now.
I added some Lucas oil stabilizer with the last oil change and that seemed to help out a bit plus I went to 5w-30. I only went that route because I have my MDS turned off.
If you've got 51k and no tich. You had tighter clearances in your valve guides. Clearly mine does not. Bums me out too. i got rid of my Cheby because it had lifter noise and the notorious piston slap upon start up.

I've done oil changes at 400, 900 and 3k so it has nothing to do with late oil changes, but that could cause an issue.
