I have had this happen to me before. If a motor is rebuilt and not washed real good, this can happen. All it takes is small metal dedris to get in the lifter holes and casue this. I have had this happen to me before. It is a pain, but you can try this and it has worked before, add 1 qt of transmission fluid in the motor and run it a few days, if it goes away then just change the oil and you are good to go, but if it doesn't then you will need to replace them.

same wit my 351 (aussie xy) get an old rocker cover, cut a few small holes and replace the affected lifter side's cover.
get a stethoscope cut the end off, use it to check each lifter.
once found check pushrod tightness, lifter functioning check lifter bolt tension
