I had some noise coming from my pasenger side valve cover so i popped it to take a look.. 3 rockers were able to be moved by hand and loose as hell. Popped the drivers side to check thoose and they are all normal. Tried re doing the 3 that were loose on the passenger side but no change. im guessing the 3 lifters are bad. or collapsed. Does this sound diagnosis sound right?

its hard to tear up those hydraulic lifters i would almost say you have bent rods. I would check them and if ok then prbably need to pull the intake.

Push rods are straight. Pulled the intake and installed the new lifters problem resolved.
