there are valve adjustments where the rocker arm meets the top of the valve at the spring. think that is to be checked something like every 20,000.
dont know if that could make a click if something was not right, or not.

Default RE: ticking

is it when you turn the car off or while its running? if its after you turn it off it is probably just the cast iron exhaust manifold cooling down, if its during the car running then its probably a rocker arm that just needs adjusting, i know my car does tick and i know its the valve lash needs to be tightened up a tad bit...
