Mine has a tick as well ever since I bought it new. I've heard its called a piston slap. Not sure what it is exactly. Try a search in the internal engine forum for tick or piston slap.

check your spark plugs make sure they in tight this car tends to tick, becasue the spark plugs come loose sometimes. specially with a big cam damn lobe.
