New heads, rebuild, or what?

Here is where I'm at with my engine. Runs very strong but I have this annoying loud knock/tick.

 

Engine

 

I am going to try some ATF in the oil to free the lifter, if not should I go for some used heads, rebuilt heads, or rebuild the motor?

 

Also notice the smoke, I am trying to figure out if its from the head gasket or the valve cover. I know there is about a quart too much oil in there so if I get rid of that maybe it will help, and the oil is not watery at all.

Sounds like its in the heads to me...i'd just throw on a used set they can be had for very little and are generally fine. Smoke could just be oil or something burning off the block...
