Sounds like he is right on. On my second repare attempt they replaced all lifters and ticking was still there. Than they repalced lifters, rods and rockers and ticking stopped only to retun a month later. What else is there that can damage lifters?
did they check your camshafts? I think I remember reading about others with this issue whose cars' camshafts ended up being replaced.
