Default just snagged a nice sierra dohc Q's

Hi, ive been away for a while but im back in the game with a lovely dohc blue sierra estate with just 97 thou on the clock, its very well looked after and should be ideal for our new up coming family.
for this reason i want to iron some things out to make sure it will stay nice and reliable.
1stly ive read some about the timing chains, its a job i will do but not just yet, and the motor seems to run good as is.
2ndly i have some lifter noise, i have flushed the oil and put fresh in which has helped, i wondered how much this lifter tick actually effects these engines, is it worth getting new lifters or just leave em ?
And am i right in remembering that these motors can run escort coss wheels ?
cheers
Ant
