More importantly is it a GPX or a GR?
GPX tappets (what's ticking) are adjustable, GR tappets are hydraulic and can only be fixed with removal and cleaning, or replacement.

also, the noise it makes depends on the grade of oil u use, the more synthetice, the quieter it will become, however, the more synthetic the oil, the more regular the change should be, say, every 3000ks intead of 5000ks non synthetic. i run Shell Helix 10w40. good all rounder.
