Did you really read the four (4) paragraphs at the bottom of MENU#19 in
BLUE??
To summarize; I used a 'engine flush' as stated and then later used ARX to clean/remove any sludge/teflon, etc.
I did use products like Slick 50, Prolong, etc thinking that it would lower friction; well it's all BS and it left some partially plugged oil passages/lifters as its byproducts.
When the ARX was started the tick-tick was intermittant. It could have been, as many say, a byproduct of loosening/removing sludge. But as I remember, the car was 99% tick free during the cleaning phase of ARX.
Now in the maintenence phase, I've not heard a lifter tick in apx 3 years.
