Yes the 3v modular is quite loud. the ticking is moslty normal. Some have had problems with valve lashers i think. Take a look into this TSB

TSB 06-9-11

LOUD TICKING NOISE—3-VALVE ENGINES—STUCK LASH ADJUSTER

It should be in the stickies in the main forum

The injectors are pretty loud. If you take a long screwdriver and put the tip of it on the valve cover then put your ear on the handle end while the engine is running you should be able to determine if the valve train is making the noise.
