Varnish build up in the engine can cause one or more hydraulic lash adjusters to stick and cause a ticking noise in the engine. The noisy hydraulic lifter will need to be located and cleaned to stop the noise.

added heavy weight oil at oil change, no real improvement in tapping noise, but engine runs strong and smooth
