If this is the 273 2 bl it will a hydraulic cam. I suspect you have a lifter collapsing. Have you tried any additives like Lucas oil treatment, or STP. These products were designed for engines with some wear, although a bandaid approach at fixing the problem they normally do the trick.
Will the noise cause any damage? Not likely, but I would check it out further if the noise worsens to anything more than a slight tick.
