Re: 3.3 v6 makin a clicking noise
The clicking sound you're hearing is probably valve rattle. You may have some worn rockers, fulcrums, lifters, etc. They also could be slightly loose. You'll have to remove the valve covers and check them.

Re: 3.3 v6 makin a clicking noise
the injectors on ga's click alot and are very loud for an injector. But if its a louder taping sound it could be a lifter or two sticking. Or if you are low on oil it'll tap more than norm.
