I hope you get everything figured out Al...

I put 8 brand new BOSCH injectors. Started 1st by the ones on passenger side. Drove the truck like that, the ticking was still there but at a really low level.
Next week, put the 4 driver side injectors...., and ticking comes back :WTF:

This will stay as is once I get time enough to fight with the roller lifters :mad2:... or may be I'll try flushing the oil circuit, once I find which flushing fluid to use

I've heard 50/50 diesel and atf, let it run for 1 min drain and change filter again and fill with oil. Drive and get it warmed up good, drain, change filter, fill it up and go.

Did that on a Jd 4020 diesel after it sat 20yrs. Runs good but is weeping coolant and needs new sleeves. Common issue on those w/ high hours.

Often a ticking sound is just an exhaust leak.

IIRC, "NEW Injectors" will produce a slight Ticking untill worked out......I Think?

You running any additive...SAE30 (2oz. per gallon of fuel) and Power Service seem to be a good combo.
