Wanted: Ford Festiva mechanic

I own a 93 Ford Festiva my dad used to to behind his motorhome. It is a good little car that gets great gas milege. However, it has just started making a valve ticking noise. Now, I know my way around engines somewhat, as I used to rebuild diesel truck engines for a living. But I know the intricacies of this engine. I have removed the rocker shafts and found there are little liftersbuilt into the rocker arms. Some of them seem to have collapsed. I must admit I recently (last week) needed to add two quarts of oil (poor maintenence I know). Is there anyone who is familiar with this car that could help me with this issue? Thanks, Jim

Hey everybody, you can stop the replies. I found the problem. Collapsed, sticky lifters.
