engine tick

At idle i got a tick i am not sure if it is fuel injectors or lifter if i get on the gas the tick goes away but comes back at idle

 

Mine ticks, too. It's not loud. I have to open the hood and stick my head in to hear it. My guess is that it's an injector.

 

I can hear the tick with the hood shut it is pretty noticeable

 

You might need a valve adjustment. I have a noticeable tick as well and a friend told me I have a valve that has too much play.

 

Mine ticks, work truck with the 2.7 does to.

 

05-up four cylinders automatically adjust with hydraulic lash adjusters.

Mine has a little injector tick but it's nothing compared to the racket made by the 4.0

 

The lifters tick pretty loud still.

OP if it's a tick you're all good in worries.

If it's a knock then I'd look at fuel/ignition issues.

 

Good to know!!

 

they all tick!!!!!!!

 

Mine ticks if it's extremely cold right after I start it until it warms up.

 

anyone else have an ac compressor that ticks..? mine and my bros both have sense day one

 

That's because your oil is more viscous cold vs when she is warmed up allowing a more audible sound from lifters. Doesn't harm the truck a all.
