Ticking sound -- NOT A SLIPPED SLEEVE

I pulled the rockers. The one farthest back was stuck on the push rod and I had to pull it out. Also, it spins very freely, like a washer on a bolt.

Sadly, I feel no catch on any of them beyond tension from the springs.
About to put studs in. I'm going to replace one at a time without removing the head and see what happens.

What do the rocker shafts look like? Pics?

I'll post a picture in the morning when I have some light. I put a different set in but by the time I pulled everything off to get the lifter out and then put it back together, it was family time. I was also out of oil. Bummer. But we ate and I managed to swing into an auto parts store. I'm sure I'll start it up tonight, maybe soon.
Fingers crossed.
Those studs are the bomb. So much better than bolts.

Started it up. Same ticking. At least I got the studs in all around.
Is it possible that my brand new oil pump spontaneously broke in my brand new front cover while I was changing the heads??? And that the sound is making a winding path to the top????? ¿?
