It's probably your injectors. This is common, and from my searches is normal.

You have to find out if it's the valves or injectors. Take a long screwdriver and place the metal end onto the valve cover, above a cylinder. Place the other end up to your ear (acts like a stethoscope). Compare the sounds on the 4 cylinders. Then place your ear above your injectors (no screwdriver this time) and compare. I thought my valves were ticking but it's just the injectors.
