Often a sticking lifter is cause by sludge that has built up inside the lifter. If that's the case a good engine cleaner can often help, or even just add a quart of diesel fuel or kerosene to the crankcase and let it idle for a while, but if you do that, don't put any stress on the engine. Then change the oil and run it for about 300 miles and change the oil again. That CAN help some sticking lifters... but don't count on it.
Often the only option is to change the lifters and if the camshaft is pitted, you may need to change that too. If you're going that far, check everything and do a complete rebuild.
