First off, valves do tick, so the question is how loud does it tick. Anyhow if you know how to adjust valves and it's done correctly, there is nothing left to do unless the engine is tired and you need to rebuild. That's only my two cents.

Make sure to warm up engine fully before doing the adjustments.
