ticking sound from the engine after long drive
heard a ticking sound from the engine the other day after starting the car again after a long drive (engine still hot) the ticking sound would increase with the engine revs, and as randomly as it came it went away after 5min of driving engine is a holden 5 litre

sounds like a sticky lifter mate, have a llisten to the area around your rocker covers.
easy fix

How hard can it be?
+1 to that, I've got a noisy lifter, but my car has done a decent distance. Check your oil levels too, can be a bit louder and more noticeable if your oil is lowish.

***update***
Just started the engine while cold and its making the ticking sound all the time is it still the lifters whats the best way to fix this?

I would say lifter/s still is the best bet. Did you check your oil level/condition? Is your car due for a service?

Yeah mate, mine does that (it's a 6 though), I'd bet it's a noisy lifter.

i only hear it when the engine is first started it go's away after about 2min

It's not so much bad for the engine, as an indication of the engine itself, they tend to get louder with age/kms travelled. How many kms have you done on it? Mine's been louder the last 100,000km or when the oil is low, and it's at 453,000km, so I'm not overly worried :P
