Not entirely sure if it is the injectors or not but i recently noticed a ticking noise, it is an ls3 with just over 12k miles on it and im not sure if this is a typical issue with these, if anyone has any experience or expertise they would like to share please do, i just want the ticking noise to go away or at least be quieter 😂

Sorry that definitely doesn’t sound like an injector it’s not a ford

Anytime I hear of a 'ticking' symptom confined to one side lifters are the first thing coming to mind.
Unfortunately a bad lifter usually takes out cam lobe, also.
NOT saying it is, saying lifters should be inspected to rule-out -- given what you reported.

If it's a bad lifter/cam, be chance to upgrade given labor savings is all I can say.
For some reason while it isn't reported routinely it has happened often enough and usually (from memory) w/ LS3.

I just wasnt sure if it was a lifter issue since the sound goes away above 2k rpm and below 1k

#

Its only 1k-2k where i really hear it

@turbid temple the issue might be a header bolt backing itself out
