Valve Tick?

There is a loud clicking sound when i start my car that doesn't go away. I think it might be the valves but I am not sure. Can someone help me diagnose the problem and hopefully help towards fixing it. I'm very short on money so taking it to a garage is impossible right now, but i need my car. THANK YOU!!!

When I was really low on oil I had a bad ticking. Topping off and driving for 20 minutes made it go away. You may want to check your oil levels.
