common issue....pull the head and replace studs with screw in ones...any good engine can do the work for you...
Pull the lifter out for that cylinder...it may have chewed up the cam lobe and lifter face....

Didn't think of that, never seen a stud pull out before, but it sure seems like a possibility. Defiantly worth checking out BEFORE ripping the motor apart.
