I am having trouble with my #8 cylinder having a bad tick. It sounds an awful like the injector. I know there has been a recall on the 2001 and up having the head tick but mine is a 2000. There is also a sucking sound coming from the base of the injector. I have the noszle kit and the sucking sound is coming from the base of the NOS noszle. Do I need to take it apart and reoil the ring on the base of the noszle. See if I turn the noszle and injector a bit, just kind of wiggle it, the sound gets less. But then it finds its way back. Is the tick related to what I think is a bad seal between the injector and the malifold?? Thanks in advance to anyone who helps.

Most definitely take the injector and NOS nozzle off, when installing them you might have pinched the o-ring causing it not to seal all the way, the ticking is the injector pulsing, when sealed you shouldnt be able to hear it.

pull it apart and put new o-rings on the NOS nozzle and the injector and it should fix it .....IMO...
