It sounds like you need to get a few bottles of Seafoam, and put some in the crankcase, some in the gas tank, and run a can or two through the PCV. My brothers Legacy sounded horrible a few months ago, until he did this, what tends to happen is carbon builds up around the valves in these, and they click really bad. Seafoam is the best and easy cure for this, as far as I know...

http://www.nasioc.com/ and I believe it was also Steve Breen's IWOC. Possibly it has more to do with the '97 2.2L engine I have. That was the year they changed away from the hydraulic lifters and went to no lifters. Also when people were opting for the 2.5L.
Over the past few years I have seen reference to Seafoam pop up but have never tried it. My not being familiar with the engine makes me think you could be steering me in the right direction. Especially since I have driven the car quite mildly in the few hours I have driven it. I'll have to check for a source for the Seafoam if my valve adustment doesn't solve the problem.
Thanks,
Steve
