Going off personal expirence i was dead set that it was something in the head. and i heard nothing from the bottom end. It was mainly when the #4 cylinder was at the top of its stroke when it would "tick" so it sounded like it was definitely in the head, but as it turned out it was the rod bearings.
it wasnt until after i bled the lifters (took them out with the cams in place) that i decided to pull the oil pan. Mainly because i was getting frustrated and didnt want to have to pull the transfer case, just wanted everything to be finally done. And when i saw how bad the bearing had gotten i quickly ordered some new ones from MAP. (thanks guys) and as it turned out the mains were also bad.
Im sure MAP will get to the bottom of it. Best of luck.
