oil is good ? if it's a lifter from low oil; it's not going away I don't think , look for leaking oil , I don't think something like that happens out of the blue if the vehicle has been maintained well ,

Yes, it sounds like a lifter. There is no adjustment to the hydraulic lifters in that engine, as a matter of fact, I don't remember any Chrysler engine, built in the last 20 years, were the lifters can be adjusted. The lifter(s) must be replaced. Search for any sign of leaking oil like the advise above.
