wish the 1fz was as easy to adjust the valves as the 3f
lifter tick after sitting for a long time?

After sleeping on it I realized that I mis read the FSM and I do indeed have valves that need adjustment.
The odd thing is they were exhaust valves and they are too tight. I am not sure if this is the source of the noise ,but something I sure need to address.

from my understanding the tight valves are not the noisy ones. The tight valves are more of an issue though in terms of possible damage. Loose valves make the ticking for the most part.
So I finally gave up my search for the ticking sound and took it to Slee Offroad.
They made the needed adjustments to the valve shims and located the source of the ticking sound. Turns out adjusting the shims didn't have any effect. The root cause of the problem was the drive gear on the power steering pump. When I originally swapped out the power steering pump I clamped down on it too tight with the vise (now that I re-read the FSM it warns against this twice). The damage to the gear was very slight, however it was enough to make the engine sound terrible.
Swapping out with a new gear has alleviate to sound completely.
Thank you Christo and Joe!!!
