sorry yes from the head good buddy, people have told me that some sort of oil treatments could sort this, just wanting opinions from anyone who's had this experience

yep, probably a sticking lifter, you could try that hydraulic lifter treatment see if thats helps, if not maybe a oil and filter change, failing that replace the lifters.
