sticky lifter?

I just got my first MR2 about 9 days ago (after wanting one for 8 years). I got it through a trade from a 4 door automatic Corolla, so I was more anxious to own the car than to make sure I got a fair trade.

Anyway, I believe it may have a sticky lifter, due to the quiet ticking I hear when I accelerate. It doesn't sound bad, but I haven't touched a motor in over 3 years, so I don't know this from that anymore.

Is there an easy fix? If so, what could I do to cure this ailment.

Its a completely stock 5spd '93 NA with the 5s-fe.

Your input is appreciated, but don't flame just 'cause I'm new.
