[DeTomaso] valve ticking

Not necessarily.  New lifter on old cam is generally ok.  Old lifter on new cam is not.

The ticking may also be a leaking exhaust mainfold gasket located between the head and the exhaust header.  Perhaps even more likely the culprit.

Hello Friends ,
 
A few weeks ago my car engine starting ticking on the driver side of the  
engine.
 
I was told yesterday by a close friend that it is either an adjustment or a 
 lifter is going bad . He said that if it is a lifter that I cannot just 
have  that lifter replaced .He also said that if the lifters are replaced that 
I must  do a cam at the same time . 

Does this sound correct ? It also sounds like major work ? 
 
Confused !
