I used some seafoam the other day and everything went well and all. Not too much smoke. Anyway, after the seafoam I have a ticking noise coming from the top of the engine on the drivers side. It is more noticable when the engine decelerates. My friend says its the injectors and he used a screw driver to listen and said that is where the noise was coming from. Is this normal or do I have a problem???

If u put the seafoam in the oil u might it may have just free'd up a lifter that might have been gummed up a lil. i work in an auto parts store that sells seafoam and ive seen that happen before. try adding some oil additive( i recommend lucas) and see if that might help.

I put in in through the pcv hose. I will give the additive a try though!

did you change the oil afterwards? People always say to change your oil after you seafoam.

texasheat

Yes I changed the oil after I drove it around and all the smoke stopped.

most people change their plugs too

i just traced down a bad tick to a bad connection on 2 sparkplug wires on the passenger side bank. just food for thought

texasheat

Checked the plug connections everything seems okay.

Anybody have an idea?

that would suck to have to change plugs...i just got new ones i wonder if i should still seafoam? 100k miles on the clock

I would think that the seafoam would clean the plugs. I could be wrong.
