Is the ticking or knocking noise comin from the top or bottom end the bottom end could be a bad rod bearing and the top end which most of the time it is it's your lifters!!!!!

If you just did a hci swap more then likely its a lifter or rocker. Did you put new lifters in? Make sure there wasn't any play in the rockers. Its possible that a rocker could be tapping the valve cover from extra lift, especially if you have 1.7 rockers.
