88 supra turbo ticking from top end

I just got the car yesterday with 85000 miles on the body and 700 miles on a fresh rebuild with receipts. The guy said that there were aftermarket lifter springs which he thinks is cause the ticking. It speeds up when revving the engine but does not affect the performance at all. I'm new to the supra world but am not new to tinkering with cars. I know these don't have push rods but from previous experiences it sounds identical to that. Also the oil pressure is around 20 psi at 3000 rpms if that makes any differences. He also had it bored over 020. Any advice would be great. Thanks
