    it seems quite common even in the ecotec v6 engines, my vs has slight lifter noise but its not
    very noticeable so i dont worry about it as its my work car, as far as repairing cost i was told its
    quite an involved job and that was for my v6, lifter treatmeant may work, just give it a bit of time, a long run would do it the world of good! =P
