Best Answer

Depending upon the engine you have in this car, there are 2 available, both being Dual Over Head Cam (DOHC) designs, but the 2.0L has replaceable shims to adjust valve lash (to stop loose valve noise); however, the 2.5L has hydraulic lifters (self-adjusting) and if there's noise, it's likely time for more indepth diagnosis/repairs.
