Fill the tank up with some decent fuel and take it for a long steady run and see if any of the top end noise improves. Sounds like a knackered hydraulic lifter to me personally.

i wouldnt like to put a definate answer on that, but if you have to drive it, driving it gently is going to better than boosting it up.

It'd be best if you can just get it fixed though
