I've used seafoam cleaner in my tank, and through the booster... still ticks.
The tick is always there, it never goes away. You can hear it with the hood closed, however it isn't ridiculously loud..
It seems to tick MORE when I accelerate quickly when it's cold, but still does tick a little when it's warm. And ticks during idle.. that's why I was thinking of having my valves adjusted... I have just never had this done before so I don't know what kind of auto shop is best to deal with this.
I had the same ticking noise you descibed. It was the EGR tube. It is directly behind the top of the intake. the pipe come is connected to the back of it. You can see it just below the rubber water hose. Look from the driver side near the fire wall. It has a smooth 90 degree bend downward.
Mine was broken at the flange. Two little bolts hold the flange to the intake.
Egr Pipe/valve/tube/whatever!
