Doesn't sound like a rod knock. Exhaust leak you should be able to detect by putting the engine under load while drivign and seeing if the "tick" becomes louder. Also, a loose spark plug can mimic a loose rocker.

U can try pulling 1 plug wire at a time. Rod knock noise should reduce significantly on the bad rod/cly.
