Yeah sounds familiar.  I removed mine a couple years ago.  Or I've been
told you can shim it to quiet it down also. 
Best Regards,

My '85 4000q makes a constant ticking noise that sounds like a possible
lifter problem.  

However, I've heard something about a vacuum pump rod problem that produces
a similar sound.  

Does anyone know anything about this?

Thanks,

Harry
