When the valve cover is off, you can push on the lifters to examine them. Those with any amount of give should be replaced. Those are the ones making the racket. In my case, only two were bad at 217K on my 900T. You can try using something like "Valve Medic", but it did not work for me. Don't see why Marvel MO would hurt anything, if a Saab specialist has tried it with good success. You can get the lifters for ~17 each if you shop around online.
