i had the same problem not too long ago. it started out to be very seldom but kept getting worse and worse. found out it was the pushrods. replaced them and the rocker bridges/pivots. been fine for a couple months but doing it again. napa has a kit of pushrods pivots bridges and rockers for 40 or 60
