Hi

A late old mechanic friend told me they'd quiet ticking lifters by replacing one quart of motor oil with automatic transmission fluid when changing the oil. Swore by it, probably worked best when it was a lifter feed that was partially blocked by dirt or gunk. ATF is detergent so will clean those and is good lubricant while doing so.

But, if its just wear, listen to the prior advice rendered by the gentlemen who have greater experience with such problems.
