I've got the same sound on my son's '85 8v & wondered if it might be the same two things you mentioned. I figgerd it was the valves, since they're mechanical & need occassional adjusting (unlike the 16v engine in my '90). It has 150k on it, & I know the valves are overdue for an adjustment.
Have you tried changing oils to see if the sound changes or goes away? What oil are you running in the engine now? I'm running a 5W-30 bulk oil (presumably Saab OE syn blend, but I can't be sure) with Auto-Rx. I won't be changing oils for another few months, & I don't know when I might get around to adjusting the valves.
