If it sounds like there is a little man in the engine tapping with a hammer, then its likely a valve lifter.

Do a compression check on all the cylinders to see if one cylinder is low. That will likely be the one with the noise.

If it is a deeper sounding knock, then those are usually a rod bearing.

Sorry dude but the way you type made me wonder if you had thought this through or not.I'll assume you are missing keys on your keyboard and follow that with:
my bad.

One thing we can agree on for sure is your jap muscle comment.

yea my keyboard sucks im on my dads laptop now but i was wondering what does it take to fix a bronken lifter

Well I'd answer that but it may just be bogus so I'll be quiet sinse I'm not absolutely positive.
