I heard the same "ticking" on my 05 LSV during break in. I checked fluid levels and all looked good and just kept close listen during break in. About 5 to 8 hours or so, it did seem to decrease in the level and now at 16 hours did not hear anything. I take my boat in tonight for its 20 hour check. This will be one thing I will ask about. Will let you know of any dealer comments on this. Also, my overheating smell that has been recently discussed on this board, has almost gone. I would guess both these issues are related to break in, however, ALWAYS good to be cautious and alert to what is going on in the boat especially during the first 10 to 20 hours.
Will.

The fuel injectors will make a ticking noise.

Yep, if you went from a carbed boat to injected this could very well be the issue. The injectors will tick when cycling and it will will sould similar but not usually as loud as the valvetrain.

Thanks for the update guys. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't anything to worry about. We should be able to put some more hours on her this weekend since the temperature has finally decided to climb above 50 degrees. I can't believe how cold it has been here in MI this past week. Thanks again.
