If you look at my topc entitled "Click Noise : All the Time", I just discovered that I had the same exact problem.

Do what I did. Start you car, get her warm, then turn her off and walk away for about an hour. Come back, crank her over. Reach your finger around the back of the headers where they connect to the block and feel for exhaust coming out.
