yeah the injectors make more of ticking sound where I'd describe a collapsed lifter ad more of a tapping...

If it's a collapsed lifter, you can run seafoam through the engine oil and it make clean it up so the lifter starts working again. Managed to help my brother's Camaro so we didn't have to yank the manifold and replace it.
