Since it's right side it's somewhat easy to check/take out.

Let me also add could be broken chain guide.
If chain guide broke/bad i would not run it anymore, have it checked,take valve/cam cover off, with the cover off you'll be able to check guides and chain tensioner i will tell you how once you have cover off.

That is not lifter tick/noise last time i heard noise like that it was tensioner locked up does not happen often.
