RE: Need engine help
If it's just lifter tick, it's really just an annoyance. You could try something like a seafoam treatment, I've heard that helps. Nothing is a "cure" though except changing the lifters to the 3rd generation style. They have slightly larger oil passages than what you have now. Even then, I've heard they still develope a tick once in a while.

It seems that maybe this is the timing belt tensioner, could the tensioner cause ticking in the engine? bearing out maybe? It will stop ticking at about 3500 rpms.
