Get a long screw driver and while the engine is running, put the tip against different parts of the engine that you suspect and put your ear to the other end. Be careful to keep it away from any moving parts like the fan or pulleys! This is called a mechanic's stethoscope and is useful for finding such strange ticks...

Zuks are known for valve noise, my bet is it needs a valve lash adjustment, but yes, pinpoint it first. Valves will be loudest when you listen against a valve cover..

they are also known for having a loud injector
remove the intake and see if it gets louder when you rev it
