Ok, I think I finally found out my ticking noise ive been tracking down for quite some time. When I collapsed the lifters to check the clearances between the valve stem and the rocker arm I noticed that the readings were more around the .220 area and not closer to the .110 readings. Im going to try to replace my push rods with longer ones to see if that will take care of the issue. Does anyone know where I can get some of these?

OK take your pushrod to your local Ford dealer parts department and ask for the next longer Ford 460 engine pushrod.
