Alrighty...
Please go into your signature under profile and add in the 94 SE
Need to pinpoint a little more here..
Does it appear to be coming from the passenger side of the motor, and is it on top or down under the motor?
See...if it'* the top of the motor itself..then lifter is possible
Bottom of motor is probably a bad bearing and will lead to low oil pressure and a bad motor
Belt end..or passenger side ..could be a pulley, harnomic balancer or other minor things.

well i bought it in August of 02' and it'* always done it,and basically the only thing I've had to replace on it was the passenger side front tire rod end,and here recently the water pump,and i believe it'* coming from the passenger side,and as far as the oil pressure goes,it'* fine,no problems there,so I hope it'* a pully or balancer

Hard to tell where these noises come from when your not stainding there...
as far as i know these 3800'* aren't known for lifters going bad.

If the car has been doing it that long. Most likely it'* a simple noisy lifter.
I think you are ok not worrying about it since it'* been happening for 4 years?

Somtimes if you got a noisey lifter you can run some engine flush threw it
and it will help,,but i hate using "mechanic in a can" to fix problems...
