Default 1992 Civic engine ticking / tapping sounds ? ? Video

Hey guys I bought this car 2 weeks ago. The car runs great, but the timing belt was lose and my mechanic put a new one in tightened it and did a valve adjustment.

The ticking sound was there before they did the valve adjustment. I went back to my mechanic to show him the sound and he said that this was an old car and there not going to be quiet.

I dunno still seems wired to me, so I thought I would post a video here before I go back and see what you guys think =]

Thanks alot

Sounds like rocker arm slap.. It could be just because its old and they are worn. Is it worse when its cold or hot?
