Pull the valve cover--spin it and observe the rockers watching for one that does not have the amount of movment as the others --pretty easy to see if cam has lost lobe--if not you can measure lift on all , determine that it is not lobe failure, the reset preload on that one, try again, if still ticking remove that lifter, take it apart, clean it really good, try again--ticking that is not preload is usually dirt in lifter--forget the Rhodes--I have had to start taking all lifters apart before using as I always find one with no oil disc or one with two stuck together etc etc--The cam you selected is KNOWN to make noise as the closing ramps MAY make a litle more power but Darn sure make a bunch of noise no matter how preload is set. None of these ideas will cost anything except time and may fix it.

sounds like it has rounded a lobe--if so , when you take it apart do NOT pull the bad lifter up and out as it will scratch and damage the lifter bore--push it out the bottom. Then...you are off to the races--metal in engine, was that lifter bore nicked, scored, tight, loose? Been there, done it enough to make 3 people crazy! Hope it turns out good--IF there is no lobe / lifter damage or wear on that ticker I would drop a new lifter in that hole a roll! I may even have one, let me know.
