06 Saturn Vue-warranty dilemma

Ok,so we bought the Vue, had the dealer replace the front brakes and RDM under their warranty. We have had the car now for 2 full days and I can hear a light tapping in the engine. As the engine is tranverse, it would be coming from the 'front" valve cover. 100,000 miles is the service interval for valve clearance inspection. This has only 57,000 miles.
(Using a screwdriver I can almost tell which valve it is.)

I changed the oil tonight, based on researching the problem on a couple of Saturn forums but the tapping continues. It's present only at idle and there are no other performance issues.

This problem would be covered under the dealer 3000 mile/3 month warranty for the drivetrain.

Would I be nuts to NOT take it back and insist they address the issue? I have never had a problem like this when we've purchased a used vehicle and the decision is weighing heavy on my mind tonight.

Thanks for any advice/opinions.

BTW-we really like the vehicle.
