Default Civic makes a loud ticking noise when cold

Hi All,
I have a 1995 Honda Civic GLi (D15) and when I start it in the morning
the engine is quite noisy. It produces a ticking noise and goes away
after 5 minuets then the car is fine. It only happens when the car is
cold, once it has been driven it will not do it again during the course
of the day. I have adjusted the tappets and it has made no difference.
I also notice the car lacks in power between 3k rpm and 4k rpm then it
comes back at 4.5k rpm. Any suggestions on this problem?
Regards,
Michael.
