check for a worn cam or a pushrod that has come off on the exaust side find what cylinder it is first by reomving plug wires one at a time until it stops then pull that side valvecover off. start engine and if 1 rocker arm isn't going up and down like the others then the camshaft is worn probably. or ook for a pushrod off of rocker arm or through it.
