Ticking sound from engine. . .Injectors?

Hello,
I have a 351 EFI engine in my vehicle and its making a ticking sound. I used a piece of plastic pipe to determine where the sound is coming from and it seems to be from the injectors. Is it normal for them to make a clicking or ticking sound? Do they need cleaning? Thanks!

Yes injector noise can be loud enough to be heard as "ticking", and it normally does NOT indicate any trouble in the injector.
