Oil should be okay. You could pull the blocks and mic them to be sure.

Anytime you mess mess with the valve train they're subject to be noisy and especially with adjustables. Unless it's clacking, just run it.

Stressing over it just makes it tick louder.

I did not see anyone suggest to check your lifter filter screen. Often forgot about and good practice is for it to be checked every other service I believe.

Before you tear into or buy anything find some straight 50wt and do an oil change, pay attention to any differences in sounds or feel of the bike in general. This can tell you a number of things about the engine's condition overall. That kind of mileage the whole valve train is worn from the lifters & blocks to the rocker arm bushings. Quiets down some with the heavy oil it confirms the wear is real.
