engine noise (not sure if bad)

there is a distinct click as the engine rotates.
don't mind me ramming the camera into the engine bay. i put my ear closer and forgot i had a camera in my hand. good thing i didn't jam the lens.
anyway, what is it?! how to fix?

because by contrast it's the opposite of what i would think.
anyone else got an idea?
if it is of any consolation, my mpg is terrible. a wopping 19 mpg average.

i use the regular one.
would that make a difference if all my parts are in working order? i wouldn't think so...
if it calls for regular then the only thing creating knock would be over-compression or overheating. the vq30 doesn't have a compression ratio that would make 87oct selfdetonate. it could be bad injectors...
(i could be talking out of my butt, but that's my impression) someone correct me if i'm wrong... please!

I have that exact sound. I used a mechanics stethoscope and it sounds like the sound is coming from a valve. A friend of mine told me it could be the injectors and to use the stethoscope to probe all of the injectors.
Either valve tap, or injectors, depending where the sound originates from. Buy a stethoscope.
I'll check valve lash when I have the valve covers off.

Mine sounds the same. The clicking is definitely the injectors. I had one go bad (ran on 5 cylinders for a while). After replacing it it was good to hear the distinct click coming from that cylinder again.
