Did anyone mention that it might be the timing belt tensioner yet? I haven't had this issue, but there are a couple of threads around here, somewhere, describing a ticking sound that turned out to be just a bad timing belt tensioner. Only way to check that is to pull the timing belt covers off and check the tension, or lack thereof, of the belt.
