Yeah but no but yeah but - to be fair all of your diagnostics haven't worked out for you I'll give you that - but you didn't actually do a compression test in the end did you?
When you were doing the failed compression test => did you hear the noise again?
Can you get a video of the sound it makes?
Have you made a visual inspection of the valve train?
How about some pictures?

Look chap the choice is yours - we're all here to help and if you provide the information we might be able to point you in the right direction but you have have to help us to help you. We might be able to save you some money - particularly looking at the prices you've quoted so far - we might not; but as you've let this go on for as long as you have with out a solution I'm guessing time isn't too much of a big deal. At the risk of being a bit rude it strikes me that the biggest problem is an emotional one - you've convinced yourself that it is all doom and gloom...
...and you could be right...
...but then again if you don't check you'll not know. And in my experience it is always better to know about something when you employ someone else to fix it for you. And who knows it might be an easy fix you can do yourself.
