Ticking

I have been running my LO3 once a week for the last year while I have been working on other parts of the car and I noticed after a while, it developed this constant ticking that gets faster with acceleration...and then thus weekend i went to see an L98 car that I am interested in purchasing seems to have the same tick. I know this is knid of vague....but do you have any idea what it is?

Check Rocker arms. Adjust your valves if needed. It can also be a bad lifer as well.
