Head gasket sealer? Sounds like you have a cracked head or blown head gasket. The ticking is probably from the valvetrain. If you have a cylinder head problem it will continue to run hot.
Please keep check on the coolant level, in morning on first start when radiator is still cold open the radiator cap and rev the engine. Notice if there are bubbles and oil drops. I am suspecting head gasket leakage.
