check for exsess play in the rocker arms. You'll have to roll the engine over by hand to close the valves your looking at. Watch all the rockers move up and down should be nice and smooth. To replace the lifters you'll have to pull the heads.

May be a bent pushrod, check them first before removing the heads.
