I would say yes if infact its tick. Usually you hear lifter and or injector ticking.. Snap a video and we can help yah out...

I cant listen to it at work but maybe someone else will chime in if not will listen later today

 

i have hks 272s and i hear injector/lifters ticking a little mainly cold start, everyone ive showed says its normal, if you hold your fingers on an injector you can feel it work. dont go crazy like me and start sticking your head all over the motor listening lol

 

Link no workie...

Lifter tick is really common with these cars. Maybe that is it?

While I do agree that with upgraded valve train and bigger cams you'll tend to experience more head noise, that sounds a little too loud for my tastes. I listened to it on my phone so it's a little hard to distinguish the actual source of the sounds. But what rpm is your idle at?

 

sounds about right...seems that these motors are notorious for it. I'm sure with an aftermarket valvetrain it'll be louder/more constant

I experience it also at random occasions on stock valvetrain, just kinda comes and goes whenever it wants.

I was told that amsoil motor oils reduced it considerably..

your other options,and more invasive ones would be to adjust the valve lash, or getting new lifters

I know this is directed towards the op but for comparison sake, my car idles at 1100 rpm and i hear the lifter tick while the car warms up and injectors almost all the time, running hks 272s

 

this was going to be my next point. Above 1000rpm my engine idles at a comparable volume, even with stock valve train. Below 950 it tends to quiet down a lot though

 

The car does ideal at 1k

 

Have you taken her for a good rip? Works wonders on BMW lifter tick. A good hard 10 min drive always works wonder If not I would consider the GSC zero tick lifters if its that annoying

 

yea i took it to a shop in my town and he say it most likely from my fic 1150cc injectors.. sorry forgot to add that in the first post
