well whoever told you that hasn't seen the inside of one of our heads because we have mechanical lifters, they tick, they've always ticked(since they were invented over a hundred years ago), and they will continue to tick no matter what you do. a good oil will shut them up for the most part but there is only so much you can do. this not a design flaw in anyway and z haven't had mechanical lifter since i think the old vg30 z32 engines(i belive they were the last of the PITA hydraulic lifters that if you tipped them more than like 80 degrees they drained and then you had air in them and a bad tick. our tick is quiet compared to an empty hydraulic lifter with the piston slamming back .100
