I have a similar prob right now. Put in a 2.3 stroker and the noise started like a month after....so obviously I pulled the pan and the rod bearings were beautiful...looked just the way they did when installed. The noise is definitely coming from the head but upon inspection, nothing is visibly wrong including rollers..I'm at a loss. Replaced the lifters with 1g lifters on the number 1 cylinder which is where I pinpointed the noise and no help. the noise is coming from the front timing belt side of the head... Whatever just drive it til it breaks. thats my theory ever since I figured out it wasn't the bottom end.

Here is the scoop, finally got working on the car today with a buddy, it is definitely not a spun bearing. We took everything off, took out the lifters and bleed all 16. When we started up the car seemed like every single one was ticking so it sounded like a gatling gun. After letting it idle and what not seemed like most of them filled back up. There is still ticking, so I assume it is 1 or maybe 2 lifters that have seized and/or busted. Im guessing ill order the new lifters and try those out. Thanks for all the inquires and comments. Ill keep everyone updated.

as for the ticking like crazy its normal. start the car up let it get to running temp and then rev it and hold the rpm to 3500 rpm for 15 seconds then let off.. and repeat this about 10-15 times until the ticks are all gone this is documented in the service bulletins and this is how you fill the lash adjusters back up.
ADD:
btw if you bled them all and didnt notice anything weird with any, then chances are they are all fine. just do what i mentioned above and you should be tick free.

Identical problem, I've replaced lifters, swapped out injectors, undid the vacuum line to the pcv and that wasn't it. Haven't pulled pan yet but its quiet under the car really sounds like its on top. Hopefully I can figure something out, let me know how things go for you.

Crckhead and tjsapoo....did you ever figure out the noise? Mine has the exact same noise which started after a 2nd gear pull....What was wrong with yours?? Yes I know it's an old thread sorry but better than making a new one

well if its still making ticking noises and goes up with rpms somewhat, yet its not a lifter or spun bearings, id be more inclined to look at your serp belt tensioner, or possibly one of the pullies as a suggestion. Sometimes a pulley going bad can make some ticking style noises, which under right load can make it sound similar to a lifter tick.
