Clicking Sound!

I have this same problem, I think. My noise is near the back of the engine, from the head I think. Using a stethoscope it appears to be loudest over my #5 cylinder. However I can hear the noise on any peice of metal to include my turbo. If I take off the oil fill cap and put my ear near the opening I can hear it which makes me think it's in the head as well. I adjusted my valve clearances so that's not the issue. It didn't make this noise before the head gasket job but it does after it. Like your car, the noise is louder than the sound of the engine and exhaust. I refuse to drive it obviously so I am really getting frustrated as I can not figure it out.
