You are probably just suffering from a normal old Honda valvetrain ticking. You can adjust the valves if you like, but it may still tick. Again, that's normal for the car's age.
The check engine light is a different problem. Dig out the ECU and read the code from the blinking LED on the top, and that will tell you the problem.
