Listen to all the injectors using a screwdriver.

Some will click, some wont.

Like a beyond microscopic particle on the pintle seat will make the injector not click.

The ticking is normal, all fuel injectors do it, some moreso than others. If there are no other issues, I would not worry about it.

Drive a turbo 60 with Motron 60# injectors. My TTA sounds like a sewing machine :-)
