Hi all,
I am in need of some help to identify an engine ticking noise. With all the experience in the club I thought I would ask your expert opinions.
I have tried listening around the engine especially the rocker cover with a plastic tube to the ear and nothing jumps out as the culprit.
The noise seems louder near the injectors.
I have checked the valve clearances and they are slightly on the low side by only 0.05mm so I don't think that is the cause.
I have only had the car since May and not done many miles. The noise seems to have come on gradually.
If fuel was a factor the last time I put super unleaded. Before that I did use E5.
Hoping you can help, below link to a video I took

Thanks in advance
