Sounds like maybe a valve tick, could be wrong but its the only thing I have personally experienced with a ticking, aside from exhaust leak. Do a wet/dry compression test on it, that won't tell you exactly whats wrong but it will atleast let you know if your cylinders are keeping compression. On compression test you're looking for 145-150 compression but you really want them to all be 150.
