Post oil change ticking

G'day team, Just done oil and filters on my 80 series cruiser 1HDT and now theres a ticking noise.
I had the big ends done at Pete Munro's 5000km ago, (so could probably eliminate that)
I used Castrol Global Tection 15w-40 about 10L, and it's sitting bang on the full mark on the dipstick.
Got the filters from Ripco, never had a problem with them in my 70 series cruiser so thought would give them another go.
Have just added a powerup additive but that made no difference.
Any Ideas ?
Cheers
Cornfarmer

I was thinking the new oil may have dislodged some grime somewhere making a lifter stick. The noise is pretty eratic, sortive like morse code. Maybe it's a primative toyota fault code ...---... SOS :lol:
