"Ticking" is usually the valves, while "knocking" is the bottom end.

Oh, and welcome to h-t!

There are many reasons an engine can develop a fluctuating rpm reading. But I am not convinced its related to the ticking noise...not yet anyways. Are you seeing a check engine light?

Hmm... you'd have open the engine and check on your valvetrain.

A valve adjustment may help.
