According to jake raby, lifter failure in these engines is rare. Could be scored bores

Thanks for everyone’s input. Before I consider dropping the engine and looking at the cams, lifters, etc, I will inspect and clean the sump and switch to 0w-40. I believe this issue seemed to begin when the climate got colder so it could be oil related. If anyone has any other non invasive troubleshooting tips I’m all ears but please don’t make this into an IMS or scored cylinder thread.
