I bet you that the problem is due to the oiler tubes on the top of the head. Once you remove the valve cover you will find oil tubes about 30mm long pushed down into the top of the head. After time the orings go bad and they start bleading off pressure to your lifters. Change those parts and try it.

Good Luck
