Engine Tick

I have a 2000 XJ with about 130K on it. I do all the regular maintenance and then some. Besides a sticky lifter, does anyone know of a common or easy way to quiet this down/fix it. Any insight to exactly what this could be would be much appreciated. Thanks!

IF IT's just sticky, you could see if full blend synthetics clean it up over time. Seafoam. MMO. Lucas injector cleaner... Try em. If it don't go away, then a valve or lifter is worn out and is just ticking. Lol
