Barry,
So do I just loosen each injector a half turn or so with the engine running the whole time, listen if the ticking stops, then retighten and move on to the next one?
I don't think your valves are tight enough to tick. Maybe if they're 40k miles overdue. Loosen the lines, not the injector. Loosening an injector isn't smart while it's its running.
