Try Wynns lifter treatment along with an oil change should do the trick. If not could be a cracked manifold or worse stud gone on manifold. Tried all this on mine when i had the same problems turned out to be the stud but i decided to put up with it.

Forever helpfull Rusty, as per usual......   ::)   

Where does the quantum leap from noisy lifters to a sump full of sawdust come from?  And how does that lift the hopes of the original poster?

You have checked the oil level since getting the car?  Apart from being black/dirty, no 'sawdust' in there?   :y

Get some lifter treatment, read the instructions on the bottle and use accordingly and drain/change oil as recomended thereafter.   :y
