Valves Clacking
Hi, I have a 2001 Mazda B4000 4X4 SE V6 SOHC and lately I've noticed when I'm accelerating I hear the valves clacking. I was wondering if anyone has this problem or maybe point me in the right direction to the fix. I use Ethanol 89 I wonder if this would cause the problem? Let me know.

Possible cam chain tensioner noise - very common on 2001~2002. When does it occur? What RPM? Warm or cold engine?
The fuel you are using sounds like "gasohol" which is usually 90% gasoline, 10% ethanol. It is OK to use but I would rather burn pure gasoline since it delivers more energy per gallon and that means better fuel economy.
