    your talking about a top engine cleaner if im not mistaken.that wont help this problem.its lucas motor oil addative.it a quart of oil thick as molasses. the idea is thicker oil means less oil pressure leak down from a hydo-lifter seal.Its hit and miss but its only 10$ for the stuff.worth a shot and it cant hurt the engine.if you posted a vedio of the car making the noise that would help narrow it down

    oh nah, i meant the seafoam for the idea of seeing if i have a leaky exhaust by lookin for smoke seeping. but im gonna try the lucas to see if it helps
    98 GTP, VS cam, SD headers, 3" full exhaust (cat/resonator/ubend deleted), genV blower, 3.4 MPS, ported LIM, open cone air filter, custom tune, alternator power cable, fuel pump rewire, AL 104s, 180 stat, flipped dog bones, 04 GTP front rotors w/ F-body calipers, and the oh so comfortable monte carlo seats
