People have said that their brand new lifters will tick for a little while, but then go very silent.

The valves don't need adjusting, that's what the hydraulic lifters do.

Personally, I use 10w30 "synthetic" with good success.

Injectors always click quietly, but it shouldn't be loud.

Check your belts and everything, to make sure nothing is dragging on, or hitting the belts to cause that ticking sound.

Pull out your spark plugs, make sure there's nothing in the combustion chamber. If there is, one of the plugs will be beat to hell (I've seen it).

Hope that helps some.
