If the alternative is to either get rid of it or dump more money into it than it is worth, why not just keep running it until it doesn't run any more? It could last another 1,000 hours making that ticking noise. It's not an airplane engine, if it fails you on the water you call for a tow. Meanwhile it could run for years costing nothing but fuel and oil changes and a little pm.

Yes that I absolutely agree but at first you were getting into checking the cam yourself, etc. Pouring in some Mystery Oil is way easier that digging into an engine.
