| Foot,
Not having any oil leaks is a good thing with your motor. When I aquired my coupe, I put synthetic in and it began to leak in all manner of places. The stuff was just too slippery. You don't mention what weight oil you are running. It may relieve the "ticking" if you change to a bit lighter weight such as 10/30 or 10/40.
Good Luck,
