Injectors tick pretty loudly. It could almost be mistaken for the rockers ticking away.

The difference is you should not hear a ticking being singled out. All the injectors should tick evenly and the same pitch. It should sound balanced.

Any odd ticking or excessive ticking could be a lifter or something else.
