It is common for engines to make ticking sounds, especially when they are cold. It could be due to the valves and lifters adjusting themselves. However, if the ticking sound persists or gets louder, it could be a sign of an issue with your engine's oil pressure. I recommend getting it checked by a mechanic as soon as possible.

I had a similar issue with my Vauxhall Combo Life and it turned out to be a loose valve cover gasket. As the engine heats up, the gasket expands and can cause a ticking sound. A quick fix would be to tighten the valve cover bolts, but if the gasket is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

I have also experienced a ticking sound in my Vauxhall Combo Life and it was due to a faulty lifter. It was an easy fix, but if left unattended, it can cause damage to other engine components. Get it checked by a mechanic and replace the faulty lifter if necessary.
