This is normal for a car. This occurs because the engine has to work a little harder to pump up the heat, and this results in higher RPM.

Why does the engine surge when you turn on the heater?

The most likely reason would be because you also have the defroster turned on with your heater. The defroster causes the A/C compressor to kick on which helps remove extra moisture in the air keeping your windows from fogging. The A/C compressor is linked to a "kick up" that brings the RPMs up to keep your engine from stalling due to the extra load possibly causing a surge.

VALVE LIFTERS... the fact that the ticking does not increase with rpms rules out valve tapping or worn piston pin but is indicative of the bearings going bad in the water pump which also would explain the loss of performance.
