- Just the right size to touch the ground.
It's usually best to run before there ticking stops.

The only way to stop a 2.9 from ticking is to turn off the key!

Rusty o Ranger makes a good point
You should consider adjusting your rockers. 80k is plenty of time to need an adjustment. Caution, the 2.9L uses hydraulic lifters so the adjustment needs to be made with the resulting correct preload on the lifters.
While you have the rocker arms off, it is highly recommended that you thouroghly clean the inside of the arm assemblies. Inspect your push rods for wear too.
