Tapping sound

Okay, ive got a tapping sound in my 3.0... it started after I did seafoam about 1500 miles ago. When id did it i did seafoam, ran it for a day, changed oil, changed plugs, and put zmax in the engine. Ive had people tell me it could be loose rockers and some people told me it could be spark jumping between spark plug wires.

Any ideas or advise on what it could be? thanks guys!

oh and it comes and goes in different temperatures it seems like.

well to eliminate plug wires wait until night and look under the hood to see if its jumping sparks between the plug wires. and as for rockers i have heard of the 3.0 comin loose before but do you think you might be low on oil. when your low on oil and you rev it the top end will start to float and dry up a lil

ok on the sea foam i was told by 100 give or take ten lol of ppl to leave it in the oil for min 100 miles max 200 i left it for almost 400 miles and kept an eye on my oil color and level (by dip stick). so maybe if you left it in long if there is anything in your oil it should break up and run out in the next oil change. i dont think you should put more than 1/3 of the can in the oil reason being its made to break down oil and the additives in oil so its possible you could hurt the motor. and now your thinking it could be trans so maybe take a few mins and look around some more before you jump to adding more cleaners.
