You might need a valve adjustment as suggested but I’ve heard that noise a 1000 times and to me it sounds normal. Just make sure you use the correct viscosity oil and I DON’T recommend running synthetics. You might also check the timing belt tension, if it gets loose it can cause some engine noise as well and if it’s been a while since the belt was replaced I would recommend replacing it and resetting the tension and then recheck for the noise.
