Flow at startup is the problem. The lifters have undersized oil holes, which get plugged up over time. MMO cleans out that gunk, but also thins out oil and allows it to flow easier at startup. I'm going to be switching to Rotella T6 (a diesel oil) and that + MMO has been proven to cure most ticking problems. Mine ticks for about 1-3 seconds on startup, when it used to tick for 30 seconds-a minute after startup.
