Glad you got the oil pressure thing worked out. 
Your ticking must not have been the 'loose liner syndrome' - which is really loud (sounds like a big 1.5 cylinder diesel engine is deep inside the engine).
I suspect you just had a low oil pressure at idle speed, which coupled with the typical main-bearing clearances you'd be seeing with 140K miles meant your tappets weren't being pumped up sufficiently. It probably wasn't all 16 - instead you'd have one, or a few that drain down and needed pressure to keep them pumped up.
I doubt it was your other two suggestions about the pump slap or the timing chain.
