And yes.. it is after it gets warmed up.. I don't actually hear it initially. It isn't until I've let it idle for a long while or if I've driven it for a bit.

This could be a number of things from valves to oil viscosity to which octane of gas you use. My old xj use to tick like that when I used lower octane fuel and when I would put premium in it would stop. I also used thicker oil one time like 10w40 and it sounded even worst. Finally I said screw it and just dealt with it. It really didn't hurt anything other than be annoying.just my $0.02.

I have heard about the cracked manifold. Mine has been ticking forever. Yours sound more of a knock. I believe mine might be the lifters and heard it is common...98,000.

I've recently replaced the driver side exhaust manifold. I'm going to check it tomorrow. If all looks good and I don't find any leaks, I've already purchased a timing chain kit to try and see if that's the cause.
Using a mechanics stethoscope (Harbor Freight), it still really isn't any easier to trackdown. It doesn't seem like it's in the top but I guess we will see.
