Knock sensor or dealer copout?

I definitely wouldn't dive in thinking it's a lifter. I think what you should do is talk to a local guy with hp tuners or efi live that tunes and see if they can fix your issue. That's where I and other's believe it's at. Maybe you can work something out so that if they fix it you pay, if not then thanks for your time here's some beer or something.

If you absolutely feel you have to go into the motor, I wouldn't go directly to the lifter. That involves taking the head off. Instead, take the valve cover off 8mm bolts, rocker arm 8mm bolt and check the push rod. Lay it on a flat surface and roll it. If it wobbles, then there's your problem.

Torque value for the rocker arm is 22 ft-lbs.
