The "ticking" sound that is most common among Saturn's is caused by a slightly expanded gap in the valve spacing. It could, of course, be something else, but that seems most common.

If that's what's going on, it probably isn't worth much effort to repair. Valve clatter isn't typically a problem unless it gets severe.

What is the difference between a 1998 Saturn sl1 and a Saturn sl2?

The main difference between a 1998 Saturn SL1 and SL2 lies in their engine configuration. The SL1 typically comes with a single overhead cam (SOHC) engine, while the SL2 is equipped with a dual overhead cam (DOHC) engine. This results in differences in power output and performance between the two models.
