I believe it is an 88, and it has the oil feed tube assembly complete with little plastic couplers that have o-rings where they pop into the camshaft assembly.
My brother put about 40,000 km on the car, and it always clattered. I got it from him, fixed a vacuum leak, rocker cover gasket and the feed tube parts while in there. Then I did some other unrelated work, until I eventually drove it 8 months later. I haven't bothered to change the oil yet (has synthetic I think and is not near the mileage limit). No clatter.
I also have a 88 9000S, do not know if it has the same oil feed affair, but it never clattered. Even with prolonged sitting (9 months) it only clattered for a few minutes after starting.
Perhaps I was lucky. Don't know, but am happy that the clatter is gone.
