Default Re: Another "lifter tick" thread, with a twist

yea well, **** happens I guess.

Part of the reason the injectors are so noisy is because of how high the base fuel pressure is. The injectors are open a very short duration at idle, and the fuel pressure is so high it basically slams the injector shut when current is removed from the injector. The pintle slamming against the seat is basically what you're hearing.
