Ive got a sticky tapping lifter even after 3 oil changes and 2 lots of lifter treatment 
Will it do any damage if i just leave it or would you get it sorted  Its not a loud noise its just a constant tick tick once the engines warmed up but its annoying 

Noisy lifter is on the drivers side .

I have exactly same in the 3.2, done over 10k in it. Not an issue

I've done 4 thousand miles but no issues other than that
damn ticking noise , don't seem to be getting any louder 

I've done a few oil changes with 10/40 , wonder if a thicker oil would quiet it down

It's a big job for an annoyance.

I've tried various oils still the same, just needs to be replaced. Need to convince a fatty admin for help on it, at its next Cambelt change

I guess while its all in bits is to take all the liters out check clean
and replace
