B18c1's do not have lifters, it's an overhead cam; you adjust the valve lash.
If yours is adjusted to spec and you're still getting ticking you have another problem.
Specs are:
Intake .006 - .007 in
Exhaust .007 - .008 in
Or you could just not be used to b series engines, they're pretty noisy compared to most engines.

Lost motion assembly, they look kinda like lifters.
They sit under the rocker arms that contact the vtec lobes on the camshaft. What they do basically is apply constant pressure to the rocker arms so when they're not bridged to the intake/exhaust valve rockers the rocker arm doesn't just flop around freely and damage the camshaft.
If you don't understand that then you should read up on how vtec works and you'll understand.

no. Valve adjustment will be enough.
