Valve click ...Seafoam?

I have an 02 XLT Explorer that has developed a slight valve click, I am thinking about adding some seafoam to the oil and then getting an oil change to see if anything breaks loose. Does this sound like a good idea?

Either that or run a tankful of Marvel Mystery Oil. A buddy of mine had an '88 F-150 that would click and make all kinds of funny noises. I had him run two bottles of Marvel Mystery oil on a full tank and it solved his problem....permanently.

Use a produce called AutoRX to clean the oil. Products like Seafoam do a good job at cleaning, but they are pretty harsh. AutoRX is made for cleaning the crankcase.
