The lifter tick wont cause any damage to your motor. Dont sweat it.
SITUATION
An occasional ticking or rattling noise from the HVA elements may occur during cold engine starts or frequent short distance driving.
CAUSE
In these situations, the HVA elements may not yet have been supplied with sufficient amounts of air-free oil. This condition will not cause any damage to the engine, and usually remedies itself with a longer driving distance or operating times at full operating temperature.
