No one likes it when you use capitals, it is like yelling. Please do not do it again.

A ticking noise can come from the injectors or lifters. What kind of oil do you use and is the sump full? Does the noise always exist or only when the engine is cold.

If the oil is synthetic and reasonably clean, you may want to have the oil pressure checked. Low pressure could be an indication that the sump pickup O ring may have dislogged or the screen clogged.

Check around the oil filter also. There is a baffle in the Mann filter.

Don't forget to check the serpentine belt and timing belt for excessive wear.
