A; If this happened after a over "Rev" situation ( where the engine RPM went too high ). Replace the bend push rods, if the engine still missfire do a cyl blowby check, If there is leaking valves remove the cyl head and check for bent valves, If it was not reved too high, remove the cyl head and do the clearance of the valve guides. On some engines they tend to slowly build up carbon and cause the valve to stick specially in the decellerating mode. After the engine cool down the valves will seem to be loose again. Clean the lifters and put them back after the head has being done. Frik

Its for your valves.
Yes.. However, you must remove the intake manifold, but, removing the head is not necessary. Make sure you have a complete "Intake Manifold Gasket Set".
No, it will need replaced.
No, the 351 W was a wider lifter valley and the intake will not interchange
take off the valve cover,remove the rockers,take off the intake manifold take out the push rods,then pull out the lifter,if the lifter is mushroomed you may need to get a lifter puller
No, they are torqued to a specific amount and the lifter controls lash.No, they are torqued to a specific amount and the lifter controls lash.
The lifters are not adjustable and must be replaced if failed.
No, they are located under the valve cover.
You can change just the one lifter, however you should determine why it went bad. The intake manifold must come off to get to the lifter. Is there advanced mileage? do you change the oil regularly? Seeing how it is an 87 vehicle, with 19 years of use on the engine, I would strongly suggest changing the full set. Be carefull though as there is the possibility on that engine of 2 different size lifter bores. If yours are oversized it will be stamped on the lifter bore (not on the lifter) 0.25mm 0.5 There should also be a white paint mark at the bore.
The lifter's are all the SAME. the push rods are what is DIFFEERENT. Some are longer the the others. They MUST be put in the right place are you will bend a valve as soon as the engine turns over.
Why yes. Loss of compression in that cylinder that has noisy lifter.
