Can’t say for sure about the spark plug thread/insertion issue relating to the ticking noise unless you are losing compression at the number 2 spark plug area when the engine is running. you have so many variables with this situation that it is too difficult for me to begin to isolate the problem. You need to find someone with good experience and some time to dedicate to work through all the variables you have with your situation. i wish I could offer more help but without being there I can not. Let us know how you make out.

I listened to the videos-they did not help me much. Since the puff puff IS intermittent my next diagnostic steps would be first to mist spray some water on the plug wires and any secondary ignition components you can access to see if the misfire or rough idle gets worse. My second step would be to check all vacuum lines and connections. My third step would be to do a cylinder leak down test starting with your number-2 cylinder. I feel you may either have a burnt valve or possibly some excessive valve stem/guide wear issues. These steps do not directly address your ticking noise concern UNLESS the ticking noise is being caused by electrical arcing from a failure somewhere in the secondary ignition sytem.

Is the puff puff sound rhythmic like a ticking clock or are there gaps of time between the puff puff sounds?

Did you ask the shop that did the lifter work what they thought about the noise? curious about the spark plug with the collapsed electrode, have you rechecked it since replacing it to see if it has collapsed again? I was not able to play the video you posted of the noise.

This is good! Sounds that go away are like the beginning of a Tsunami wave-first all the water disappears-then whoosh! It all comes back at once. 🙂
When the sound returns-keep turning up the radio until the sound gets louder than the radio can go and you will have NO problem identifying the failed component! I could not resist some sarcastic humor. I hope the noise never returns and that all remains well. Please keep us posted!This is good!
