i think its a valve tick... coming from the back of the motor (right bank) just put some mystery oil in it and its softer now. what would you recommend to throw in the oil. I'm changing it hopefully friday providing i have money

A quart of SAE 30 or even 50 weight oil replacing a quart of 5w30 in your next oil change should do the trick. You could try the Lucas stuff. Some people swear it works, others swear it doesn't.

Also make sure it's not just one or more noisey injectors! If you can find a mechanics stethoscope, that should help you narrow down where the noise is.
