My motor has a bit of a tick, which I think is probably an injector, they can be fairly loud, or possibly something in the valve train, but it goes away, or at least I can't hear it, as soon as I accelerate past idle. I'm not worried.

If you want trace the sound, you need a stethoscope. Put the probe right against the IMSB housing and on both tensioners and listen for anything abnormal.
