Re: strange lifter tick? or worse
If the bearing SPUN, you'd know about it. It is scary to be next to a pun bearing engine while it is revving up. When a bearing spins, it is caused by the bearing getting so hot that it welds itself to the crankshaft and shreds the bearing to smithereens.
Rod bearing noise is very consistent. and I've never heard it sound like a ticking noise either.
What about an exhaust leak upstream of the turbos? That can easily cause a ticking noise when the engine is under load. Even an EGR gasket leaking a bit....
