I had a similar problem and was about to pull the engine down when I
realized it was the fan on the crank had become loose. Nothing at idle, but
a clicking on acceleration.

I had a similar problem last year. I took the rocker shaft off and checked
everything I could without removing the head. Found nothing. Then I
started to look around the engine and I found that the fan belt had started
to separate and was hitting metal when I accelerated. Didn't make the noise
without the load. Might want to look around the engine bay.
