before serial number Y20,001 = This is...at least...the 1000th time I typed this jazz on FTE since 11/04/2006. 
Peeps ask a gazillion High Boy questions. Most are justified, some are just ridiculous. (sigh)
Some peeps are clueless or have been fed crap info by: sellers, ebay ads, or from other clueless peeps. Think 4WD: F100's, F150's, 1977 F250's from #Y20,001, 1978/79 F250's .. and even F350's are High Boys.
High-Boy = Enthusiasts term for 1967/76 F250 4WD's, 1977 F250 4WD's before serial number Y20,001.
Hi-Boy = Hot rodders term for 1928/34 Fords with the running boards and splash shields removed, exposing the body riding high atop the frame rails.
hi-boy = Antique furniture term for chest on chest (dresser) made circa 1750 thru circa 1805.

Well, I'm not going to hire you as a camera operator.
I can't hear anything but engine noise and exhaust.
I'm very familiar with valve train tick and I didn't hear it. Doesn't mean it's not there, just can't hear it off of a phone recording.
While you had the covers off did you grab each push rod and give it a shake?
Edit
I went back and listened again. Didn't here valve train tick. Maaaaaaayyyyyyy have heard your knock but again, its a phone. Not much help I know.
