rb25 neo swap injector tapping/ticking noises?

[jb17]

Is this injector noise? Is it normal? It's a pretty fresh swap. 100% stock. Didn't replace anything except the pilot bearing. Doesn't seem to fade or go away. However, I didn't let it heat up or run for long because it sounded concerning. Didn't rev it either. Probably should've. Also, I did search, but I'm new to this so I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask.

Yeah, so it's not the injectors.

It does sound as though it is completely f**ked. There sounds to be bottom end bearing noise, but there also sounds to be lifters with waaaaaaay too much clearance in there.

Take it apart.

Wonderful. HAHA

I will absolutely tear it apart.

Should've gone LS

Yeah, 100% absolutely not injector noise. That sounds like an unbalanced washing machine.

Oh dear. This is one of those where the sound is not ambiguous and "she'll be right". Something is very off there. Especially given how audible it was.. at the rear of the car.
