94 460possible lifter issue

I have a 94 460 that has developed a tick and drivability issues when warmed up. When the truck is first started and drives no issues at all, plenty of power and no noise. After some driving only fifteen minutes it has a tick only at cruise with light throttle. Usually between 1500 and 2000 RPM with no real load just steady cruise. The engine feels down on power until the higher RPM range. Compression is solid 150 PSI across all cylinders. This is a rebuild with about 4000 miles. I checked the engine cold and no sign of bleed down or loose rockers. Any ideas???

Have you checked oil pressure with a mechanical gauge?

No I have not, just the dash gauge.
