				Sounds like a lifter trying to collapse possibly. Could you be more specific as to the symptoms? Year, model engine would be helpful also.

				how is your oil pressure when it's ticking and not ticking? Have you checked your oil to see if it looks 'milky'?

				Any idea if the ticking is coming from the top or bottom of the engine? Oil pressure making a sudden drop when you hear the ticking?
How is your oil level? Have you checked it? Or changed your oil recently? Any additives or significant changes to the engine recently? All these things are helpful to us to help you.
