Developed a tick

They only way to know for sure is to pull the lifters, if one or more are dished the cam is done for.
Are you using a Zinc enriched oil?

I am, but I have no idea what the previous owner used. I have been using 10w-30 Valvoline VR1 Racing "with high zinc". Can anyone suggest alternatives that might be better for the future?

Sounds like I will be pulling the intake tonight to get to the cam and lifters. What's the best way to confirm if the lifters are dished? Lay a straight edge across the bottom and look for a gap?
