I know it makes it tough with the injector prob,, but the tick only happens when it's warm??? There was a quick hint of a chirp at shutdown on the video for me. Unless I'm hearing things. Mine would make about 3 chirps at shutdown. I also ran mine with the chirp for about 50k miles. Was the #8 replacement inj a ford from a dealer? At this point I would go ahead and pull the #8 injector and double check the install. Another idea would be to swap injectors with a different cylinder n see if it follows. I can't remember,, are you getting cont balance codes?? It's $10 for each injector you pull cause the copper washer needs replaced.

6.0L Powerstroke Injectors
I was getting #8CM counts on my ScangaugeII when things hit the fan. None since I changed the 4 driver side injectors.

Heres my hypothesis: If I do a compression test AE or real and it fails then I would assume it's a valve. If it passes a compression test it's a lifter.
My logic says smoke is due to unburnt fuel due to low compression.
Last if I pull the head I should be able to do a visual on the related cam lobe maybe even see the lifter, not that I could fix it without pulling the engine of course.
Logical?
