solid lifter engines like the 7A can be a little tappy. Try a little heavier weight oil if it bothers you. Also injector tick was VERY pronounced at idle, throw a towel over the injectors and listen again. If it is them and they bother you that much you can fashion a cover out of sheet metal and spray foam to cover them to help silence. ^ What he said. Put your ear right up to the injector bank and you can hear them well. This is allll good stuff and right. I had a valve adjustment done two years ago (before that, the ticking was insane) and afterwards, I could still hear a light ticking. It's just the injectors. -------------------- taking too long to mod since '09
