I got a ticker too. I made sure the valves were set correctly which they weren't and it lessened some. ENGN BLDR told me awhile back that after a compression test if things aren't broke, don't fix it. Run a comp and if numbers are good, I'd be ok with it.

go get (or pull out of the garage) an automotive stethoscope. Make sure its actually coming from inside your valvetrain. I had a noise I thought was loose valves, but it was actually just noisy fuel injectors. Compression tests are great, and I totally recommend doing one, but pinpointing the noise should be your step #1.
