ok, MOST likely just noise from the valve train...related to mileage and wear...if you have high miles, you should be using 20W-50 weight oil anyway to help compensate for the wear...also try using an additive like LUCAS oil stabilizer this will increase your compression on an older engine, and will help quiet down the upper end of your engine...keep in mind, it is most likely COMPLETLEY NORMAL... :) also...everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the local library should have a professional shop manual available, to make copies of, in the Reference section...good luck:)
