Sounds like a lifter is sticking a little bit. Fresh oil change and replace 1 QT of oil for 1 QT of Lucas Oil Additive. I have heard Marvel Mystery oil can help solve this problem also. Rislone is good but I would only use it as a last resort to get the engine to continue to run a while longer with a rebuild expected soon. I wouldnt use tranmission fluid in the engine as it will clean things up and maybe do too good of a job and break pieces of sludge loose that could clog up an oil passage and it would be instant death for the engine.
