I have 237k km (147,265miles) on it, original, never been apart, always change oil/filter at 3k miles (5k km) . . . so am I correct in thinking I might have bad lifter that is taking out the cam ??? Oil pressure still good as always been (50psi at anything over 1300-1500 rpm) . . . just wondering if I need to be concerned ?? Time to change cam/lifters, etc . . .??

Do you feel certain it's not exhaust? Also, there's some that swear by using different oil brand such as Red Line or Amsoil to stop a faint one. If it doesn't bother you I bet you can drive thousands more miles without issue though.
