If it is lifter click, there is an easy fix. Go to your local auto parts store and look for a product called Rislone (sp). It comes in a yellow, quart sized can and is usually found where the oil additives are stored. Add a quart when the engine is one quart low or use a quart instead of oil at the next oil change.
My old GMC had this problem peridiocally for about 10 years. Every time I heard the click, click, click, I used the Rislone treatment and it worked each and every time - never failed.
