well i finally got the truck back after a hg issue but anyway, nothing has changed besides a new hg, orings and thinner injector washers. since getting it back it has a tick ..seems to be coming from the back of the motor, you can best hear it in the cab, like an old truck with a broke tach cable, seems to run and and have no power loss.. anyone else ever had this problem? its bout to drive me crazy. ive already set the lash again, checked rocker bolts and went over the fuel lines to check for any loose ones.help a brotha out!
 
the lines didnt come with clamps but they never made a noise before, note it only does it under a load it wont do it free reving
 
hold the lines while it idles, I know ya siad it only makes noise under load, but you might be able to feel one at idle that feels more sharp with a pulse.
 
Um just a thought, but take the valve cover off and turn the motor over by hand and watch the valves, I had a spring once that would hang on the cyl head on the way up.
 
thanks hoodrat ill give it a try, the more i drive down the road it almost sounds like the motor has a skip? or miss but not in a power wise sense, it runs pretty good
 
well i just listened to a video of "injector knock" and it sounds very similar! why would this occur with a hg change?
 
maybe a conector tube is leaking by causeing a miss fire ? could be a stuck injector as well, just a number of things to look at lol
