Sounds like a typical stuck lifter--how long have you run it with it
Clicking?

Have you tried to adjust the rocker's?

If it's a pounding, or Banging----rather than a tick or a  click---I'd
say Ooops--- it's rod---

Hard to diagnose without hearing it, but if it happened all of a sudden,
after you parked it, it sounds to me like a blend down lifter----
