take it to a mechanic or start By taking your oil pan off and your valve cover and check things. if its that bad take it to a mechanic and have them rebuild it or do it your self like a champ with good stuff

Check some things out(oil level, timing belt tension, ect) then give us some more info. With this little bit of info it is hard to determine what is going on. The tick could be anything from a spun bearing to a out of adjust lifter in the head. Do some research and get back to us.
