I seafoamed my 91 SE the other day which included pouring a small amount into the intake (through the power brake vacuum), letting it sit for five minutes, and then cranking. It backfired when I cranked it, then it fired up fine. However, there is a pronounced clicking noise that rises and falls with engine speed. This sound completely disappears when the clutch is disengaged. And it fades after driving for a while. Otherwise it runs fine. Any thoughts?

no...i'm suggesting that because...
- i don't know what u actually did w/ the seaform. you're not really supposed to pour it in when the engine is not running. people usually have the motor run and let the vacume pull in small mounts of seafoam to clean the carbon.
- depends on the amount of seaform you used you might've thinned out the oil enough to cause a tap sound...lifter perhaps?
- you might've cleaned out the motor enough to cause a loss in oil pressure...causing the lifters to starve for oil.
i don't know the condition of your engine, i don't know what you exactly did w/ the seafoam, i don't know the amount you used.
changing the oil is the cheapest thing you can do to make sure the oil that's in the engine is ok.
