Tapping, ticking sound? If so, then yes you most likely need an adjustment.

Is the your engine oil low? What type of oil and oil filter are you using?

Definetely could be your valves....all Honda's I have seen will make a slight ticking noise at cold start-up wait about 2 minutes to warm up and it should go away start with a valve lash adjustment.

Keep in mind though that when you first start the car in the morning all of the oil has drained into the oil pan. It will take a few seconds for the oil pump the circulate oil back into the head. Valve adjustment wouldn't hurt though.
