Welcome to FTE piper.
With 312k, you're real close to rebuild time anyway. Give the addative a try.

thanks for the email

i will try the valve medic,i talked to my mechanic and he said,not to worry about the ticking.as for a engine rebuild,that will have to wait,till i have the money,engine runs good,doesnt burn oil,or smoke.runs like a charm.
