Are you sure it's lifters?

A number of those 91's have a bad fuel dampener in the fuel rail. It's not a problem but the 'ticking' sounds like a bad lifer or much worse in the engine. Most of the bad dampeners I've heard will come and go as you rev the engine and often return to the ticking at idle.
If it is this then replacement is optional. Could be worth considering, I've not seen many Saab engine with true lifter failures.
Good Luck,
Scott
