Had a similar noise coming from my engine, its a K3 though so not much help. Had the valve clearences checked and all were in spec at 26000 miles. The chap I took it to found it to be a noisy injector. If you hold a screwdriver up to the injector you can hear a distinct ticking sound in time with the idle and when revved engine speed.
