After doing some reading online it sounds more like a lifter problem. What would visually indicate that? A loose rocker? This is a flat tappet, not a roller. I also read up on "lashing" but haven't a clue how to set it. Would this cause something to be loose enough that it would cause a continuous clicking sound?

After re-reading this, it may be time to call someone in to look at it. Starting to get in over my head here. :P
