Your other option is to get some dyno time, and drive the car until it makes some noise, and have someone feel around until the offending part is found!

moar ¢2, so thats ¢4 now
Already looked through the glory hole. Didnt really see anything out of place. The pressure plate looked very clean, no dusting or anything.
Dont really need dyno time as it does the rattle at idle after the car has been driven a bit to warm up. Free Rev and hear the tick more. It sounds like a loud version of lifter tick is i suppose the best way i can describe. Also the engine doesnt vibrate all that much. Just normal, also idle is very normal. Really the only problem is after it warms up the loud ticking and not being able to go above 3k rpms without it registering knock.
