Have you adjusted the valve lash yet? That could very well be the source of your noise.

It's an easy job, using basic tools, and you'll get to replace that leaking valve cover gasket at the same time.

Could be a bad bearing, piston slap, wrist pin, loose torque converter/flywheel. Need more info, like where the sound comes from, does it change intensity/speed whith a change of RPM/load?
