Is there a loss of power along with the ticking?
Does the ticking sound like a ticking or more of a rattling? Does it come from the cylinders or the heads?

If it's down on power and it's rattling, it's probably your main bearings failing. Easy way to tell is to drop the oil. If it looks like metalflake paint, it's new engine time.
