how loud is your engine?

what i mean is: how loud do you hear your valves ticking?

As far as i know it should have hydraulic tappets(?) which should result in no ticking. Mine however ticks like my old BMW with the 300° cams. Maybe even louder. Is that normal? Should i be worried?

Are you sure its not the injectors, they are super loud.

Oh wow, this could be. Superloud sounds like it.
