At about 2,000 rpms you can hear it the most. a friend of mine said it might be a collapsed lifter, is this correct? what ever it might be what can i do to fix it?
replace them...I'm currently dealing with it as well, though mine has been gone now for about 4 days.
Make sure your valve springs/rocker arms are tight when you go in there..that could be it too, or possible a bent valve or failing oil pump.

stupid question, but is it an easy job? or do i need to take it to a shop. hopefully i just need to lift the top cover? or do i need special tools.
Pretty sure you have to pull the cams to replace the lifters and thats a bitch because of the timing belt. But dont quote me on that, ive not done it and havnt read much on it either.
