Angry engine ticking

hello i have a 2.3 dohc 97 ford ranger ,and there is a taping or ticking nose coming from the top cover,it ticks faster as i accelerate,so i was wondering whether that could be the lifters?,and if so do i need to change the camshaft also if im changing 1 lifter ?or should all lifters be changed? if thats the case what would it cost to do that at the ford dealer thanx

Something (tape?) may have been stuck to the belt and you heard it hitting all the accessories. Crack in the belt coulda done it too. As for Cheech's problem, I have no idea.
