Does it stop after a while?

looks like a valve lifter noise.
usually this noise comes out when you start the engine in the morning and noise diminishes when it heats up.
when persists, try oil change. at least SAE 40.

usually doing oil change lessens the noise.

having done this and noise still persists, it's either you take out the lifters and bleed them or buy a new set of lifters.

How easy is it to do valve lifter work? I was thinking it could be the timing? BUT who knows..All we do is pour money into this misbitchi car. The day my wife is all done paying on the car Ba bye car! In a few monthes i'll be buying a car. My last car was a 87 carprice classic v8. I had better luck with that. And it was easier to work on.. =) i had that car for 3+ yrs but sad to say it got hit R.I.P. caprice.. =(
