Where does it sound like its coming from, i know you said the head but from the front or back. If its a ticking sound that only happens at idle and it sounds like its coming from the front of the valve cover, then it could be your upper chain guide. A common thing, just remove the valve cover and remove the 2 12mm bolts holding it and your done. Most sr's get them taken out for the same reason.
