The 2.9 in my sons truck has been ticking since the engine overheated and cracked the heads. I replaced the heads and have tried a bunch of different, cures to correct the ticking. Everything from STP, Rizlone, Marvel Oil even flushing the engine twice. Never could get the ticking to stay gone. Would quiet down then eventually come back. Did another flush and oil change yesterday. Today I had to drive the Ranger to work (approx 35 miles) and it was ticking like crazy by the time I got here. Seafoam was recommended by a mechanic friend of mine. So I ran up to the local Autozone and bought a can for $10. According to the directions it called for 1/2 can to be added to the oil. I put it in and started the truck up. Still ticking. Drove back to work (a little over a mile) and by the time I got back here it was completely quiet. Hopefully it will last this time but I was so impressed with this product I had to post this up here.
Anyone have any experience with this stuff?
