Default tick, tick, tick

Hopefully, it's not a bomb, but...
I just changed out injectors and I don't believe I heard this sound before now. I was checking for leaks and in and around the valve cover area is a distinct tick, tick, tick- very rhythmic. Any ideas as to what this may be? :confused:

Sounds like your injectors. Some are noisier than others, if they aren't leaking your ok....

Put your finger on one, does the sound follow the little pulses you feel ??

i did my injectors on my 91 and i have the same tick i know that wasn't there with the old injectors. so i'm guessing it's the injectors it runs mint so i don't think it's anything to worry about.

I had something similar happen, but I found it in the dark. One of my distributor leads was arcing across to the SR. I took care of that ;)
