Injector Ticking

I have been noticing ALOT of injector ticking (I am 99% postive its the injectors). At first I thought it was the BAC, but the sound is lot closer to the injectors. I know they are suppose to tick, but I am not sure how much.

They (stock inj) were sent to RC about 2 months ago (only 700miles on them). What could cause the excessive ticking?

BTW its a S4 TII

I just do not remember them being this loud, I guess they were that bad then, since I couldn't hear them....

A good ground as in I have a good ground now, or I had one before?

Good ground = ticking or no ticking?

Forget about grounds. All injectors make a ticking sound when operating. Don't worry about it.

I would think the engine dying would be your first clue
