the rocker assemblies are steel bolts screwed into aluminum threads.the question is not IF the threads will break but WHEN.i have fixed many of these heads by helicoiling.good idea to check all the bolts holding rocker assemblies while valve cover off.as long as noise goes away after a short time it is lifters but if sustained check those bolts.
