Okay, your valves are probably okay then

A bad injector will be a sharp ticking.

Lifter tick sounds like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRg8R8XllI0

And this is rod knock: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlZvtcZ6uSA

Hope that helps.

Lifter tick can be remedied by following the FSM procedure for cleaning/bleeding your lash adjusters/lifters. Then you should probably run some better oil (Castrol GTX, Mobil1 if you want synthetic).

You're not serious about grinding your valves are you? The seats also have to be ground to match the valves... you should probably let a machine shop do that stuff.

a Bit off the subject, But i did port and polish my head + Headers =)

It is definatly like Video #1 But mine used to go away around 2-3 k revs. Now it gets lounder, not that loud more like a light tapping compared to that. But it went away around 3-5 k revs before i tore it apart.

Well i orginially switched over to mobile 1 extended performance fully synthetic . At 60 k miles, when i noticed the ticking staying more ( it came on gradually, ) it ticked very very slightyly when i first got the car, it would tick like it does now all the time, But only on start up, then stoped, and would only tick when sitting at low revs, and come and go as it wished. Not concistitant ...

Would you happen to have a link to bleeding and readjusting the lash adjusters ?

i payed 220 $ to have my machinst do all 16 on a 4g63 motor. And he found out i had an angle grinder and told me i can do it myself, so we did my friend andrews car, Works great. I was just going to do it on this motor as well, I used a drill to spin them against the head, and create the groove.
