No.

Add titanium valve spring retainers, for even more ticking, to help balance out the rest of the ticking sounds.

had same issue, when replaced lifters with Johnson's & yella terra ultra lites roller rockers tick dissappeared completely, definitely something to do with stock valve train imo.

Low Lash Roller cam will be my next mod down the line.

More power, and quieter valvetrain.
