Ticking sound from the engine?
I have an '06 z with only 3k miles on it and noticed that I have a small ticking sound at idle (once per revolution). Anyone have this problem? I can't hear it above the engine with the hood open, only really on the drivers side.

Yes, but valve tap with only 3k miles? To me, it seems like an exhaust leak since i can only hear it at the driver's side, not on top of the hood. If it was an injector, wouldn't it be coming from the top? There are many clicks per revolution from the top of the engine, which I have heard in every Z. Oil level is fine.

Injectors the culprit?
