^^ +1 Not bleeding the lifters is notorious for causing a ticking sound.

I agree. Bleeding the lifters is a basic MUST for any cam install. It isn't even very difficult to do. They should know better.

hnmm did u double check to make sure the new lifters were properly bled , if the noise started right after cams its gotta be a valvetrain issue.

$400 FOR LIFTERS! You could have purchased a new set of JAM 3mm for $175. Need to find a new shop and have it looked at....Vivid maybe.
