Lifters have probably worn out a bit. Using a slightly heavier oil may cure it.

Does it sound like this ? This is what mine sounded like (this is my car), i put some Lifter engine tune in with the oil to help clean them and it helped quite alot. Also using Penrite 15w-60 Fully syn helped also.

ticking isnt there at idle but is when i accelerate. I took it to a mechanic tighten up the extractors and it stop for a while then started again.

Sounds like you might have a busted gasket.
