Lifter noise...

I was trying to localize it. I couldn't tell if it was coming from the rear...
but it's quite possible. Is there a way I can check that tensioner? I believe the chain rides on a plastic guide. Is that the tensioner?

I want to say no.
But I can't say that with a high degree of confidence. The cam tensioner results in a "chain slapping" type noise right? Maybe a little tinny or higher in frequency? This doesn't sound tinny. It almost sounds like that funny noise your car makes just before you stall the engine...(that's probably a really bad description).
Alex just got a new video cam...so he can probably take a few sound clips and post 'em tomorrow, rather than having me masquerade as a monkey trying to duplicate this sound.

No thats the guide ;) Maybe use a stethoscope (homemade will likely do) and listen along the head

I'll attach a pic

OK, my friend car (97) had 80K on the clock and it ticking like crazy, my (98.5) had 108K but no....

Per Bentley's
"Engine oil temperature approximately 80C (176F).
Oil pressure at idle: 1.0-3.5 bar (14.5-50.75 psi)
Oil pressure at 3000 RPM: 5.0-7.0 bar (72.5-101.5 psi)
If specified values are not obtained, the pressure relief valve or the oil pump is faulty. "
