Ihave a ticking n the engine when I first crank it up in the morning what could it be and could it possibly be problematic? I think it may be a lifter. It only does it when the temp outside is below 30 or so, when the engine warms up the sound dissapears.

 

There is a TBS on the PVC valve, not sure if your's falls under it or not. But worth it to look into it with dealership and your vin number.

 

could it be that ac clutch? is it a periodical tick......or pretty consistent?

 

yea mine does the same thing and i was told it wasn't too bad

apparently i had a chip in one of my pullies and it was just ticking everytime it hit the belt or something. not a big deal
