Default noisy engine -- clicking, tapping

Hi All,

Was wondering if anyone else has experienced issue I have and what the fix was for it. Have 2005 with 16K miles... engine has gotten noiser recently with metallic click/tapping sound. Lifters maybe? Certainly does not sound the way it should. Brought it in to dealership today to check it out.. prelim is failed lifters and they think to replace them all... does that sound about right or have others had a different fix? Was it successful or did the car develop other issues later after the fix? Would I be better off leaving things alone? What was root cause if lifter issue? too much oil, not enough oil or neither?

Thanks
Dave
