Well this has been a great lesson for me. After pulling the Intake manifold and replacing the lifters on #2 cylinder, then removing the fuel pump and rigging a contraption to run it without the fuel pump, still ticking, swapped the exhaust manifold doughnut, still ticking, then finally swapped the manifold gaskets and bingo! The gasket on the #2 cylinder had slid out of place when I installed it and just decided to start ticking. I was convinced it was a metal on metal noise.
