i have heard it in about six different 1j's .With any import motor change the all after the first 1,000 k's .Then every 5,000,
mobil 1 seems to be a little noisier .After a few oil changes the noise seems to go .In my engine the shims did not require any work and by second oil change the noise is only audible on a cold engine .Sounds more like a sludge related problem to me .
one mate tried a Nulon sludge removing oil additive with great results
To identify Injector tick verses Engine noise do the old screwdriver trick against the injector rail the injectors have a MUCH different sound
