Actually, I've been to 3 different shops for this issue, nobody has a solution.

Shop 1 (dealer) - tried readjusting rocker arms, thought they got it better, ticking returned. Now they want to sell me a new engine.

Shop 2 - tells me they need to tear it down and find out what is going on, says I'm losing oil pressure (but my gauge still shows 50 on cold start, 40 cruising warm-hot, 20 idle hot).

Shop 3 - yeah its ticking but I would just leave it, not serious enough to tear engine apart...maybe step up to a thicker oil like 10w30
