engine flushes can dangerously lower viscosity and cause you to spin a rod bearing. I'd never use it.
noise of any kind is bad, in any machine, abnormal.
many engine flush kits (bottles) are just kerosene or Stoddard solvents (the MSDS clearly states this in any case)
some old guys, use diesel oil. (or ATF) you wont find any tests labs, testing the effectiveness of any. most are too savvy not to risk a still good engine.
one ploy safe, is to change oil every 500 miles , and pray for the noise to stop. 3 times.
if that fails , find the true source, chain, guides (i bet all those) and bad varnished up HLA. (lifters)
ive cleaned many and HLA and had to take them out and use very powerful solvents to get them fully clean, no in the oil engine cleaner in the world, uses this nasty solvents.
MEK, Acetone and others, used in a can with HLA inside does.
the old GUNK BOP used to clean them overnight , in a can. but EPA banned that cleaner and the new cleaner is junk. same with berrymens. (ive used all 3, even old Bendix cleaner in 60s.
