I am still not sure what exactly fixed it, but I do remember replacing my valve springs, and lifters not too long afterwards.

I do think it is just that that bank had mostly compressed lifters, if U were to take the lifters out and soak them in oil overnight, and try adjusting them U will not see that again (at least for that time) I don't think it is necesary for that though. Just adjust it the right way (all I did) and it should be fine. I would suggest replacing your lifters if they are still stock or over 50-60g miles (cheap enough insurance).
