ticking because of a vacuum leak? I thought that just gave you a funky idle Is it a really fast tick, or slower? (keeping in mind that the crank rotates twice for every rotation of the cam. If it was something like 4 ticks per second (approx) I would say it was a lifter or something on the valve train.
if it is a vacuum leak, the plyer test is the easiest way of finding it. That would be the first place to start, if that isn't it, change the oil and run an engine cleaner through it (and I am not talking about that $10 stuff they sell at NAPA, get something better than that). I have seen that free up stuck engine parts and stop knocking.
