    Well the last time someone had a drop in oil pressure and it had a tick. A lifter caused it when it collapsed and shot needle bearings out, which lead to the oil pump failing. this could be the same issue. also it could be the oil pump failing and causing the lifter to starve for oil which would make them tick. Also, don't drive it because you wont be able to shut it down quick enough if the pressure falls to 0.

    Danny,

    Did you watch the video? Does that look like something it would do if the oil pump is failing?
