Default spark plug connector?

hey got a question for ya'll

I just got my 951 back and I noticed a litlle noise that comes from the top of the engine.

Its like a "tick" "tick" sounding noise, it makes the noise every couple of minutes. The mechanic told me it could be the spark plug connector.

Anybody have any idea what it could be?

Thanks.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that is one of the signs. Also some injectors just get noisy when they are old.

When I had the engine torn down I got these fuel injector seal kits. I noticed that the little caps where larger in height and than the stock ones.
They didint slip down all the way down either.

1. Can That affect the car?

2. Also I noticed that one of the fuel injectors was missing the little pin in the middle of the tip, Can that affect my car in any way?

Thanks a lot
