Hyd lifters do tend to tick a bit with age. if its like you said and the
notor has not been ran for 5 months then chances are good that it needs
to be driven more to bleed all of the air out of them. (Pump them up) 
What kind of oil are you using?? A thin grade of oil will also cause the
lifters to tick.
