Believe me it will still tick wait till it gets freezing out again. Only fix is to replace the lifters and the head. Changing the oil won't really do a damn thing. I changed my oil every 5k miles and used only BMW oil (which is Castrol) and it didn't help the ticking came back when ever it got really cold out. What did fix was getting the lifters and head replaced.
