So my jeep developed an tick noise, it sounded like it is in the top end. How ever I have now checked everything thing I cant think of what else it may be .and its still there. Pushrods are all straight I just replaced all the lifters. There was no strange wear on the old lifters that would suggest its the can. I've taken the oil pan off to see if there is anything going on down there please help. I really don't want to have to replace the motor but if I do where should I go or is there any one here that could or would do it

How is your oil pressure? I had a oil pump that was not putting out enough PSI, I to had a tick.

Check for an exhaust manifold leak, common issue with 4Runners but might not apply to you.

Yup. If its the 4.0 they are well know for exhaust manifold cracks !!!

Are your lifters mechanical or hydraulic? And ditto on the exhaust. It only takes a very small hole to sound like a tick.

How much oil pressure?

X3 on a cracked manifold. It cracks down by the head pipe.

Oil pressure is good, had an exhaust leak around where the tick was and shop claims they fixed it. But not the tick. Could it be a carbon build up PR something like that? Starting to regret taking it to these guys considering I'm 1400 in the hole and the problem is still there I also had a couple other things done but still and then I call them and they say there coming up with nothing and told me to ask around and see what I could come up with.

So I haven't had time to go pick my jeep up out of the he shop and my buddy calls me at work and says he saw my jeep turning out of the pickle gulch area. So apparently they can't fix my jeep but they can take it offroad and charge me around 1400$ to do it. So is there anyone willing to look at me and possibly help me fix it for a decent price? I'd rather give my money to someone in our group than them.

Gorsh, I'd have taken it to Jenny Creek for the test drive. :D

I have some friends in Rollinsville; don't know when I'll be up that way again. Advice is free, if you can bring it to Golden.

If there was good evidence (you seeing them pull out of a trailhead and stopping them) that'd be grounds to get all of the $$$$ back (I'd think).

As for tracking a sound down... Grab a few feet of fuel line. One end to ear (perhaps put an earplug in your other ear) and move the other end around the engine bay. When the engine end nears the noise you'll hear it, piped into your ear.
