[darcycammo]

What sort of oil did you put in it?
20 - 50 i think

How long has it been making that noise for?

Pull the rocker covers off and check the rockers.

Change the lifters. One of the lifters is pumped up or has lost pressure.

First do an engine flush, change the oil and add some nulon lifter free. If that doesnt do the trick then change the lifters.

If its been doing that for like a year then i'd be checking there is no damage to the cam aswell.
