Make a point to keep the valve adjusted every season and keep your oil changed.

On my Kawasaki engine I had the lower finger 'disappear' on my pushrod guide plate causing a random clank because the pushrod/rocker arm was lower and hitting the valve cover.

I'm not sure if Briggs is setup the same way, but I wanted to throw it out there...

Sounds like one of the valve guides are backing out of the head or valve seat is loose. Do compression test, should have 120psi or better.
