Just wondering if those "reduce engine tick" in a bottle work? Why, do you have a tick? If it's something like a clogged lifter, maybe a solvent would help, but since you have an OHC???

I have the ticking issue that I assume is common to all 92-97 rodeos.
I don't recall the brand or name, but there were numerous varieties... engine oil additives that claim to reduce or eliminate engine noise/ticking.
Just wondering if this stuff is for real?

The most common remedy is to flush Sea-Foam, Gunk engine flush through right before an oil change...then run 0W-30 Mobil 1 or other oil. That seems to help clear it up for most.
I can not find an answer for mine. I have done Gunk Engine Flush, Sea-Foam, Royal Purple oil, 0W-30, with no avail. I will keep it up in hopes that a few treatments over time will help.
Just go to know the tick. If you know the sound, it will be ok. Just listen for other irregularities.

Nope. I thought I read here that the ticking/tapping noise wasn't from valves on our cars and that it was normal.
