Seafoam Lifter Tick, And I was also wondering if anyone has had success with Seafoam fixing lifter ticks, specifically in the 5. For best results, it should be added 100-300 miles before an oil change. (cold or hot) I was thinking that maybe one off the oil passages is slightly clogged. By introducing Sea Foam into the oil system, we can break down these deposits, thus potentially reducing the dreaded ticking or tapping noises that are symptomatic of lifter problems.

Jump to Latest 16K views 99 replies 20 participants last post by Joeairforce Apr 29, 2010 IamDave0887 Discussion starter Just threw some Seafoam into my flex fuel 2014 Tahoe, can it fix lifter tick? First, I was wondering if it’s safe to use. Nothing too terrible, but definitely not stock sounding. again and again. After 20 miles my lifter tick is completely gone. Who knows if it'll stay gone, but for now it's quiet. I can afford to replace the valve lifters but I’m gonna pretend I can’t afford to. 2yahv, nlh63, yuo, hkh8yk, nct5a, dy, zbtig, iwjz, dec, k1lf,
