Seafoam works for some stuff but I don't see how you think it worked since the noise still comes and goes. I have replaced many phasers and I have never heard one make noises like you describe. They tick like a bad lifter or exh manifold leak. They will make most of the ticking noise at idle speed to 1500rpm. The component that might see the most benefit from seafoam would be the phaser actuators and oil passages or maybe a sticking chain tensioner.
With the miles on that engine I would think the problem lies in another component. Chain guides and hydraulic tensioners are plastic and are common failure items. I've seen chains so loose they wore through timing covers. If someone is going to replace the phasers only, they will have the valve covers off, you might ask them to take a close look at the cam lobes and roller followers too. I do hope it's a phaser so you don't have bigger problems though.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
