Sounds like your alt took a shit and you're starting to hear the Death rattles from the Single cam Me and My friends call it the Valve tick of death I've heard 5 single cams make that noise before they blew. now it could be that or it could be your timing chain guides check the slack side ( driver side, you can see it iff you take off the valve cover.) there should be a loose fitting piece of hard plastic supported by a metal bracker there. iff you don't see it then You've got a shit ton of problems ahead of you, because your chain will be cutting away at your watter jacket. If that happens then you'll definately be hearing the valve tick of Death for sure.
