sounds like a tappet, could change em but best to do it with a new cam too, could be showing up more due to a dying oil pump (ive had many times)
or may just be old tappets, could also check the rockers, replace the rocker washes (service items)

and make sure the oils right, enough in it too


coudl be a few things coming in to it
