Noise from Fuelrails?

Hi.

I have some noise that i dont like from my engine, it sounds almost as a sewing machine and it comes from the fuelrails.

Is this normal, i just think it sounds a little to much.

Here is a video with the engine running.

Since there are no moving parts in the rail itself it must be ticky fuel injectors. Maybe try fuel injector cleaner or send out the injectors to be cleaned/flowed.

injectors will not make a "ticking sound" It is probably a valve train issue, ls1's are infamous for having loud valve trains. My lifters tick pretty loud. if it is not crazy loud it is probably normal.

Just go over your valvetrain and make sure everything is good and nothing is loose.

You will throw codes, but other than that, yes you can do it. But as others have said, check your valve train.
