If you were more local, I'd offer to come over and help you out.
And that leak-stop stuff sucks. It doesn't do anything positive. I bet your valve stem seals are going and that's the cause of the smoke at idle. A leakdown test should be able to determine that.
The lifters will tick. That leak-stop stuff probably didn't help the tick at all. Might have made it worse. The tick is kinda normal for DSMs. They make a new style of lifter with a larger oil hole in them to help stop the ticking.
