Again many thanks to all for your valuable suggestions.
****After reading Ari's posting I decided to try one of his suggestions----- turning the engine backwards to re-set the timing chain tensioner ( read his posting). I put the car in 5 th. and allowed it to roll back gaining some momentum and then engaging the clutch - and thus forcing the engine to turn backwards. I did this three times and the results are AMAZING. For at least the past 6 months my engine had a constant rattling which was very noticable when inside my garage. After this backward thing which most likely reset the timing chain tensioner, it's like I have a brand new engine. It runs extremely quiet to the point where I have to concentrate to even detect a faint lifter noise. I don't know if this fix is long term but for now I am very happy. ---
