Ticking noise is two possibilities. As the engine pressure comes up there is a ticking for about a second. This is normal and is normally the hydraulic lash adjusters coming up to pressure and taking up the slack. This won’t change with a new pump. Mine has a new pump and still operates like that. It’s normal.
The other one is the fan clutch noise which is a clicking sound. That’s also normal.
