My nissan altima was sitting on my garage for atleast 5 months. I took it out a week ago and cleaned it up and now hear a clicking sound from the engine.

I have checked the oil level and its good.

Is is the rocker arm?

What is the solution and how much would it cost to repair?

Do an engine flush oil galleries could be clogging up a bit with sludges and oil pressure no fully making it up there. If it continues you probably need to use shims for the clearance.

So can I just buy an Engine Flush solvent from autozone and put it in the engine.

I will be changing my oil soon.
Do you recommend changing the oil first then adding the engine flush or add engine flush and then do a oil change.

Thanks
