This, not a big deal, can most likely be done without pulling the motor or heads. Also sometimes that ticking noise can be other things like an exhaust leak at the manifold. If it's not burning oil or showing other signs of coming apart, I would just fix the problem. 1700 hours isn't really that much for newer engines.
