I've just upgraded my lifters and....

[Mr Gears]

There is more to lifter tick than just lifters. Sometimes the lifters are so bad that the hole in the head that they seat in becomes sloppy. Sometimes the rocker arms may be worn or have noisy bearings.
Curing the lifter noise for good is something to be proud of.
I will not put any engine oil additives in a car that i care about.

15-40 fuly synthetik oil will do the trik the ticking noise only happns becuse the oil get thin around the lifters

Yes good quality oil will sometimes qiuet the lifters.

otherwise if the car will be short term, chuck in additive until your ready to sell

Ha ha, dont buy a used car from these guys.

Utilise your conscience guys and be up front about the defects with your vehicle when you sell. Dont just hide problems and encourage others to do the same ...you should be ashamed of yourself.

I'm running 3g lifters in my 93t and they are still noisy and the motor has done around 30,000 k's....

but i've found with regular oil changes, i've used castrol magantec and edge, that they are only a little bit loud on start up but by the time the car is warm the noise has gone.

the noise comes back somewhere just after 5,000k's if i havnt done an oil change... which is a good reminder.

What additive was it, just out of curiosity? I tried a few but never had much success with them. Mine are 3g now - just interested.
