Ticking is usually normal, caused by either the fast bleed lifters or the injectors.
If you hear clanking at startup, you probably have the infamamous piston slap, and if you want the engine replaced it'll be a long and arduous process
BTW, my 02 T/A sounds like a diesel when it's first started, but runs like a raped ape (12.86 ET with only an air lid for mods)
