Get a screw driver & put it to your ear (literally touching) and go around the engine placing the tip of the screw driver on various parts of the engine. This will give you a better idea as to where the sound is coming from.

Last time I heard a tappet type noise, that turned out to not be a tappet, it was a big end bearing....
