So getting under the hood and reving it with the throttle body never crossed your mind???

Brilliance in action man.

If it sounds like there is a little man in the engine tapping with a hammer, then its likely a valve lifter.

Do a compression check on all the cylinders to see if one cylinder is low. That will likely be the one with the noise.

If it is a deeper sounding knock, then those are usually a rod bearing.

Sorry dude but the way you type made me wonder if you had thought this through or not.I'll assume you are missing keys on your keyboard and follow that with:
my bad.

One thing we can agree on for sure is your jap muscle comment.
