<p>I noticed that the click is easier to hear at idle. Can you take
off the valve cover and run it at idle for a bit? While idling
and valve cover off, push down on each side of the rocker arms
with a hammer handle or similar and see if the noise stops. You
could have some worn rocker arm bushings. I had on old ford 292
that did that. It would drop a pushrod sometimes if you over
revved it like when it got stuck in mud...</p>

What happens to the noise if you have it running, and then one at
a time crack the fittings of the injector pipes on the injector

hydraulic lifters. I had an Isuzu trooper with
the 3.5 L engine and these engines were
notorious for developing sticking lifters.
Noise sounds very familiar and why I am
guessing that.<br class="">

If I am right,It is harmless but annoying.
There are some techniques for minimizing this.
I used to control it with seafoam in the
engine oil right before an oil change - maybe
100 miles or so. Then using a high-quality
synthetic. In addition I made very frequent
oil changes.<br class="">
