This place is a joke.
Remove the valve covers and check for worn camshaft lobes. Search the forums here, lots of info about this problem. Don't wait too long, it could destroy your engine if the tappet is worn through.

Its most likely your intake camshafts are bad and lifters need to be replaced. i did mine at 101k they were pretty bad. both sides left and right.
