Ticking Sound?

I have a 2001 "S" with about 63,000 miles on it. Lately it has been making a valve like ticking noise at idle through first. Very low pitch noise, similiar to the sound of running low on oil. Anyone heard this? I believe the valves are self adjusting, but I also have heard they can be adjusted and should on higher mleage S's. Is this possibly what I am hearing? Also, lately, (and i hope they are not related) but I have had a lot of hesitation when taking off. Almost stalls sometimes. But it is inconsistent, sometimes runs great, sometimes acts like it's about to stall. Any advice is welcome. thanks.
