In most cases the ticking is considered 'top end' or valve train which is incorrect.It does come from the 'top end' but it is the result of a spun bearing causing the piston to travel further up the cylinder due to a spun rod bearing,it travels far enough up to 'tap' the carbon on the piston crown and cylinder head.....every one of the 'run bearing' engines I have has the 'witness' marks of the piston hitting the head....
