One valve is slightly too loose. As long as you can stand the noise, just
let it be. A loose valve is a happy valve.

However, if the noise changes, get it looked at just to make sure somebody
didn't forget to tighten a locknut or something.

I thought it was over 105K by 1999? Still got an owner's manual?
