Possibly timing chain worn. Maybe timing chain tensioner is about to move one click further. When it does the rattle should disappear. My 900 had that rattling sound and I replaced hydraulic lifters, no help. One morning is was gone and after that the sound has slighly becomed evident again (in maybe 2 years time). Check www.townsedimports.com for further advice. Good luck Seppo Metsälä Saab 900i16 -89 Finland
