thats a normal thing with Evo 8-9 mostly 8's...yea its either Injector or Lifter...just take a long peice of wood or long screw driver and rest it on one ofthe injectors and you be able to tell if its the injectors thats ticking or the lifters...if its the lifter just use some 20w 50 oil and it should quiet it down..

The noise is normal. It's just power,LOL

Really, it might be the lifters or injectors like they said.

Good luck with it.
