Take the valve covers off and check the head studs.
If you find any barrel nuts, that's your problem.
Check the torque: Long 10mm Allen, set a reliable 3/8-drive torque wrench to ~20 ft-lbs, check the torque on all barrel nuts.
If any of them feel mushy, the studs may be pulling out.
Generally, avoid 87 octane, go at least 89-90.
