The ticking is normal both for the valve train and the injectors. Unfortunately, the Zetec engine makes more noise than others. You will notice this especially when you start the car for the first time and especially in the cooler weather. Make sure to keep up with your oil changes too especially during the cooler months and it wouldn't be a bad idea to let the car warm up some before you drive it.

Just be careful with your cars especially now when the months are cooler as your oil in the engine will be thicker and won't flow as good as if it were warmer.
