[Tigers] Advice req'd on engine noise - URGENT

[Thomas Witt]

I vote for a lifter.  My Mazda 323, if it sits more than 48 hours gets a 
lifter tick. It can last for hours..., and eventually goes away.  As long as 
I drive it within 24 hours or so (which I normally do) it never comes back. 
It has done this for years.
