as far as what can you do?
replace the lifters. with new ones. also if you do it i would check in to a larger set of lifters and a better cam. this will allow it to breath even better then it dose now.

most of the time this happens is they were supposed to be soaked a certain amount of time in Oil and they didn't get enough time

OR
some are just bad from the factory. nothing you Can do about them

OR \
something plugged the holes in them and it is causing it to not get enough oil

there are a lot of reasons but for the most part those are the ones i have seen the most.
