Default clicking noise right under the valve cover

What is the clicking noise right under the valve cover? its usually on engines with lots of miles, it sounds like the valve is sticking. What is it exactly and how bad could it be?

Do a valve adjustment. If you're not sure what that is take it to your local mechanic. It's a fairly easy, common procedure.
