New rocker arms and shafts... Still ticks.
To recap all of this going back a few months.
190K. Runs quiet when cold, ticks at idle, tick goes away at 1,200 RPM. Wife's DD until a few months ago. Well maintained.
Good oil pressure cold/hot, idle/2K RPM. Rotella 15-40W.
Good compression in all cylinders 149-151.
MMO treatment.
New radiator and genuine 180 degree t-stat - no coolant leaks.
New plugs.
New front cover/oil pump.
New timing gears/chain.
New PS pump.
New cam, lifters, rocker arms, and shafts.
Runs better than ever - great power and super smooth.
Still ticks when warm.

TC flex plate failure is an LR 'speciality' unfortunately. Towing heavy loads exacerbates this problem.
Ashcroft Transmissions
Ashcroft sell an HD flexplate and also an HD TC.
