Valve clicking.....gone after a few minutes????

Greetings,
What would cause valve click upon startup.....everytime. It goes away after a short few minutes of driving but it's there even when the car has only been off a few minutes.
It's a 94T-conv. with 110K miles which was soooo quiet until this started about a month ago. I use Mobil 1 10W-30 every 3K with SAAB filter. Used Amsoil engine flush before swithching to Mobil 1 at 85K miles and recently flushed it again before last oil change.
I've had valve ticks on my 1990 before which went away after a couple of days or a spell of spirited driving.
Does this indicate any internal damage or will it cause any? My best guess is a lazy valve lifter???? What to do?
Thanks in advance,
Todd
'90 900 & '94T-conv.
