The taping sound is coming from the passenger side and it sounds like its coming from the head.When I bring the revs up its not as loud.I checked the rocker arms their not loose, no exhaust leaks.I dont have a clue what it could be?

E,

Collapsed lifter? Bent push rod? Broken valve spring? Rocker/cover interference? Cracked spark plug? Wrist pin? Accessory belt dry/cracked? A.I.R. check valve? Bent valve? Y-pipe? Flexplate?

Just some guesses...
