Most likely that's what it is.
Valve adjustment is not scheduled to be done until 7500 mi. Most of the time the valves will wear tighter than spec, and need to have additional clearance added, so "ticking" (loose valves) shouldn't be very common - especially when new.
Does it quiet down when warm?
I'm assuming you are using Mobil1 4T - correct? Don't use the standard auto Mobil 1 10W-40.
