How many mile do you guys have on your cars? I bought my son a 95 3.4 with 136,000 miles on it and had the same issue. After the head gasket went I replaced it then we had a lifter collapse. The problem ended up being worn bearings in the engine not letting it build pressure after the oil thinned out from heating up. We found a engine with 52,000 miles from a junk yard for $500 and put it in. No problems since. The lifters on the old one were so gunked up they were like solid lifters so when I adjusted them the correct way they gave out. When we pulled the engine we found another on broke. As much as I hate to say it you might need to be rebuilt.

You could try running some 10-40 or maybe even 20-50 oil to milk it a little longer before the rebuild.
