On my 1993 850, it has almost always made the ticking sound when I start it after it sitting for a couple days, and usually goes away after 30 seconds to a minute. Today I started it, and the ticking sound stayed (I ran it for like 20 minutes). It got up to operating temperature, and it is still making the sound. So I am assuming it has to be either a valve stuck slightly open, or one of the hydraulic valve adjusters is really stuck (I am not sure how the hydraulic valve setup works on these, as I have never seen one apart). Any ideas as to what it could be. It has plenty of oil, and the oil light turns off.
