pull the valve cover and take a look. if you see something wrong, fix it. not tryin to be a smart a$$ at all but thats all there is to it. if you do have a loose rocker on the number six cylinder. it could be a lifter or it could be a cam lobe worn down.

sounds like a sticky lifter to me. If it was a loose tappet or anything loose for that matter it would most likely do it all the time.
