Thats also true.

I would check and make sure a plug is not backing out. A blown plug can ruin your day.

Ok I will do that. What's the torque spec on the plug so I can do it right?

Easy there, just making a joke on the name you chose. If you knew jacked00, you'd laugh at it.

I was thinking about this and if it was a plug backing out, would it not make that "ticking" sound all the time? Also I took my stethoscope and it seem to be coming from the injectior rail but I'm not 100% on that.
