Sure its not just the injectors? I can hear mine ticking away at idle.

I can also hear some light tapping from a few valves it's normal, they are meant to have a tiny bit of clearance between the cam and the bucket shims.

The reason I know the difference is because mine is on LPG too and when its running on gas the injectors aren't working so I can hear the difference in "ticking" and "tapping".

If its very loud you have to get someone with a bucket full of different size shims and go through each one with a feeler gauge and replace the ones that have too much clearance with thicker shims.

If any have no clearance at all you might have a burnt valve or valve seat and you should get those cylinders pressure tested.

Mines a 24 valve so I got twice as many to worry about, I think yours is SOHC 12 valve? being a 94 Jack.

the motor in our jack is a 32 valve but im not sure if its 3.2lt or 3.5lt how do you tell as i am not sure what is is abart from being 32 valve motor

Cant be a 32 valve, doesn't add up for 6 cylinders.

The earlier Jacks were a 12 valve 3.2 litre.
If you read 32 somewhere on the Jack it means 3.2
