I have noticed over the last few weeks that there has been a tapping/clicking sound in the engine. It happens when it starts up for around 10 minutes, then goes away, then comes back when the car runs for 45+ minutes. I think it may be a sticky lifter or a valve problem. Any ideas?

 

Just bump your old thread bro.

If you think its your valves just check the specs and make sure the valves are within them. If the ticking continues then come back and tell us.

EDIT: Valves are not that hard to do.
