Sea Foam...
....also does wonders for clogged fuel injectors and carbs.

I have “fixed” many a “broken” motorcycle with Sea Foam.

I found some MMO which seems to be rare around here. Canadian Tire just got it. It wasn't even on the shelf yet. The instructions said to use the whole bottle based on the Boxster sump capacity but I just dumped in half a container. I let it idle and the ticking went away after 5 minutes. The test will be when I start it cold the next time.

Well no luck. The cold start ticking is still there.

You also self admitted you only used half the amount the bottle said to. Add the other half and see how that does for a bit?
