Did you have the valves ground? If so, I bet the valve stems have been dressed as well. One of them could have been shaved too much and over the course of 6000 miles generated the tick you hear. If the grinder trimmed it to a slight point or anything off square, the "point" could be wearing off and giving it some hot slack. Pull the cover, run a feeler guage under everything. I bet one has way more slack than the rest. I bet it's not a cam lobe so check the top side first before you get feeling depressed about a cam swap. Good luck.
This thread, so far...
