[Solved] 2016 Ford f150 intermittent tick

Love your vodeos! My son has a 2016 Ford f150, 5.0l engine, autotrans, 93,000 miles.  It has an intermittent tick. The check engine light is not on.  An internet search has not provided much help. Are there things that I may be able to fix or is this beyond a DIY project?  Will it hurt to keep driving it this way?

Video with sound is attached.

Well those are notorious to get clicks in the engine because of problems with the variable valve timing system. Some guys will put a cam phaser lockout on it and the chicken will often go away rather than have to rebuild the whole engine
