i wouldn't worry about it unless there is anything audible when standing in front of the engine, whether that's at idle or under power.

i'm assuming you have an L36 3800?

It should be fine these engines are known for slight tap noise that's why they come with the engine cover, to help decrease the sound being heard. You should look up the origin of the 3800 it's quite interesting, it started off as a poor v8 design
