Hi Jordan,

I know you've been frustrated with this for some time and haven't found a solution on the E34 board but injector ticking is always there. It's a question of how loud and how much it bothers you.

I recall reading that the o-rings can harden over time and when this happens, not only do you run the risk of leaks but you also find that more noise gets transmitted to the rest of the metal, making it seem louder.

Regards,
Adnan
