The car starts great but there is a little clicking or ticking noise while it is warming up. Is this normal, or what should I look for?

Is ticking comming from engine? Does it vary with RPM? If so lifter tick. Does it go away when hot?
If yes to above change oil and filter increase viscosity slightly and you may want to Marval Mistery oil great stuff will clean out lifters.
