Your ticking noise in the rh cylinder bank is the typical Packard V8 lifter noise. These engines are notorious for that, because the oil pump is inadequate to supply the proper amount of oil to the engine without adding a bit of air into the mix. I highly recommend to Olds oil pump conversion on ANY and ALL Packard V8s. The other "fixes" don't work as well as the Olds oil pump. All the other "fixes" are moot with a high volume Olds pump on the engine.
