when was your last oil change? i beat down and neglected my old car and if i went too long between oil changes i'd get a wicked case of "valve tap" (as my friend called it). it was a fast clicking noise that would speed up if i tapped the gas pedal. when moving it was too fast to notice, but as soon as i came to a stop i'd hear it again.
may as well throw that out as a first response cause it's easy and i don't have to think about it.

How loud is the noise. Maybe you are reading too much into it....

My lawn mower doesn't tick......
The VQ does make a slight ticking sound when it's idling. Almost as if you can hear the valve's ever so slightly. If it's not excessive, it's normal.
