This is my 2000 Jeep Wrangler SE 2.5L with 150k miles. Check engine light is not lit and no codes. Oil pressure seems fine and she seems to drive fine. Recently had the exhaust manifold gasket replaced, which solved a lot of noise.
I have a light but fast ticking sound at startup, and after about 1 minute, I get a louder and slower tapping sound. Can you TJ experts help me figure out what the problem is?

I bought a lifter removal tool on Amazon a few days ago and I planned on replacing the lifters tomorrow since it seems to be a common problem. But I wanted to check with you all first so I don’t waste my time if that’s not the problem or if the engine is done for.
Also, I put a little bit of Marvel Mystery Oil in there and ran it about 100 miles. So far, no change in sound.
Thanks in advance.
