Had a lifter shed a bearing roller, it would occasionally ping as it was thrown around the engine intermittently. You should take a look before it gets expensive.

That is an interesting thought. Thank you for that.

I didn't find anything to be honest. The "tik" still exists. Definitely not a ping or clack clack.
