At that mileage, it is hard to say, could be a rod knock, rocker arm/ lifter problem. What ever it is, don't continue to allow it to happen, really need to let a shop look at it.

To do an engine flush will not hurt an engine, but if you have a mechanical internal engine problem, it will make it more obvious. For the most part this is considered a good thing to do once in awhile to keep your engine free os sludge build up and the problems this can cause.

The post you refered to was one where Mike and I cover most all possibilities of a "TICK". I took the entire top and bottom ends apart on my engine and cleaned it by hand. The valvemedic was temporary at best to at least thin the oil enough to suck through the plugged screen. I also had a different tick that only started after the engine warmed up. This ended up being the passenger side cat.
