Well I hate to say this, but i'm starting to think it's not the crank/bearings.
If my oil is up to temp, and the ambient temps outside is below 75F - the ticking is gone. Over that temp and I hear it. Whatever is making that sound is affected by ambient temps. This may be the reason not everyone is hearing it. I have tried this theory a dozen times and it holds.
Cool mornings and my 11 mile (50mph) drive to work - I hear nothing.
I don't get it.
