Ticking when cold... Piston slap? Valves? Leak?

I'm trying to figure out the issue.... I'm thinking it is either valve train or an exhaust leak... When I start up cold and accelerate away I hear a steady ticking that follows rpm.

I took the valve cover off. Wondering if the rockers are suppose to be this loose?

I tried to take a video of the ticking but I don't think it came out well....

Any help would be appreciated

If it is just noise then I will live with it. Mainly I don't want to hurt the car so I want to find out the cause.
