Yeah lifters are a part that's used on pushrod driven valves, this engine has overhead cams and it uses a system of shim caps that the cam rides on, it's a pretty painstaking process to do a valve adjustment on this motor.
However, we really need a video to HEAR this ticking sound, it's might not a lifter, remove all your coil packs and inspect for damage, verify your spark plugs are properly torqued, I've seen a LOT of misdiagnosed valve noise that was actually a loose spark plug.
