You might want to try the old mechanics audio trick to track down where the "clicking" noise is actually coming from.
Trick is rather simple really - after starting the engine,take a long handled heavy screw driver - press the blade against the area where you think the noise is originating from and put your ear against the end of the handle -
You will be startled at the mechanical noise you can hear from your engine - and by moving the screwdriver blade to different locations on the cylinder you can isolate exactly where the strange (and usually either annoying or expensive) noise is coming from.
Keep the rubber side down
