What may cause a 1997 Chevy Malibu engine to makes loud clicking sound like if the lifters had no oil but the clicking goes away every now and then?

um, it could be that the engine is cold and needs to allow lubrication of all the parts on start, you could be using wrong oil, oil could be low. push come to shove it could be as bad as main berrings are gone or even a bent rod, so start with the oil and hope for the best, any bent rods or main berrings gone it would be cheaper to buy an engine from salvage
