Default ticking head?

There is this ticking sound thats coming from what i think is the back cam shaft on my b18a1.... idk what it could be i have heard that sometimes when a valve adjustment is needed its because of a bad valve seat or something and it could make a ticking noise. Theres oil in the motor, runs just fine other than the ticking. I am gonna be taking the valve cover off to get it sand blasted pretty soon so i guess i could take a look and the cam shaft and make sure it isnt that. Any suggestions and if you know what might be wrong lmk how i can get it fixed. thanks

yeah, but it could also be the valves, we cant hear it so you really cant say for sure.

ok well.... who is gonna go to the H/A meet? cause then i can show you and maybe get some insight.... and if its my injectors would it have any other effects or would there be something specific to tell the difference between the two. if it my injectors how would i go about fixing it.

odds are its the valves factory injectors are very quiet and are barely noticeable. no big deal, takes about 30 miuntes to adjust them if u know what your doing
