As above, the injectors tend to get pretty noisy and make a ticking noise but this isn't a problem.
You can't adjust the valve clearances as the engine has "self adjusting" hydraulic tappets. If one of these is sticky it will make a loud ticking noise - but it doesn't sound like that in your video.
Cam and tappet face wear is very very rarely an issue on these engines

John
