What does the tick sound like? It's not 'just' pinging is it?

Sounds like a rocker shaft. Canister usually more prominent at idle. Identify which bank and then use the old screw driver as a listening device and narrow it down. Rocker Covers come off these windsor motors real easy and gaskets are reusable. May not be it but worth checking.

Must have been typing this while you posted about the TR55IX. In the XR's they actually recommend a colder one (BPR6EFIX-10) which runs a 1.1mm gap. If you check in their utility listings you will see the AU3 pursuit250 has this listing and I presume that the XR low series bonnet runs that little bit hotter and I have heard that some guys are having pinging issues when using the TR55IX on a range of AU's.

im not sure how to explain it?? it sounds like when you put unleaded fuel in it instead of premium lol Dunno how else to explain it.... But it seems to have gotten louder after i changed plugs and oil. I got TR55IX plugs. Could that be the problem??

A sticky valve from a bent rod can cause a nice 'time-bomb' ticking sound, and gets louder as you increase the revs, had it happen in a v8 of mine years back.
As the car was just a bash-around, i found that if i gave it a good thrashing it would 9/10 free the sticky valve ..lol , not a fix of course , but it went for years like that. Gl, i hope it's nothing major. cheers.

I was also told it could be noisy lifters. Does that make sense?
