happens warm and cold. more of a ticking actually. the ticking goes away with higher rpms. 2000 3800

Re: clicking

try some seafoam on your car. Might be a sticky lifter or could just be your fuel injectors clicking when they are firing. Injectors can make noise when older

yes, any parts store will have cans of it. It will make a nice smoke show btw, ;)

in MY opinion an engine destroyer

i have no problems using it sucked up through the brake booster line, but when used in the oil it can clean the gunk buildup causing more wear in your engine

but it is used as a cleaner

my engine ticks also, i just figured it was a lifter, i havent really worried about it, been fine for the past 30k miles
