Default Injectors making a ticking noise?

Ive noticed there is a ticking noise coming from the sides near the back of the engine my car has only 900 mil on it. I took it to a dealer and he said its normal and means the injectors are starting to brake in. Do you guys have a noise like that coming from your engine? Ill try post a video as soon as i can.

I believe he has the V6 DI motor. If that is the case then yes it is normal high pressure DI noise

Fuel pressure is crazy high on the six. ~200 psi for the LLT, and, likely similar on the LFX.

Engine idling at normal operating temperature, the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor parameter should be approximately 1.9–5.0 MPa (276–725 psi).
Note: The engine speed must be between 600–1000 RPM
you would loose a finger or two :P
