Ticking fuel injectors
I am getting a lot of loud ticking from my fuel injectors in my 95 Lt1. Is this normal? Should they be replaced, rebuilt or maybe cleaned. If cleaning is required is there an easy way to do this.
Thanks!

Noisey injectors have nothing to do with them working OK or not.
i.e. Cleaning noisey injectors will not make them quiet.
Some make noise, some make less noise.
Find the noise,... take a long: pipe, rod, socket extension. Put one end on the injector. Put you ear on the other end. You will find the offender in no time.

I have a mechanics stethoscope, a long screwdriver with your ear held to it would work. Touch each injector with it and you can hear them clicking and decide if that's the noise your hearing.
