the LT5 can produce some deceiving noises, sometimes the gear rattle from the tranny or the knock from a bad dual mass can be deceiving.
does the noise go away when you rev it or get louder???
I use a "mechanics stethoscope" or gordon's old trick, a long scredriver to help pinpoint where the mysterious noises are coming from.
my advice, figure that out before you buy the car. replacing a lifter would be expensive and make that 15k car not so much of a bargain.
ZR-1s are great values, and many good cars are available.
