Body Damage is Cool

Mine had bad lifter clatter when new and it would only do it when hot and idling for a while (long stop light). I took it to the dealer several time and what they figgered out was a plunger in the oil pump was to short and caused low oil presure at idle. They installed a longer plunger and the problem went away. If enough people complained about this there could be a service bulitin on this. It might be worth it call a dealer to see or ask the price on a fix.
