Very loud ticking noise (not injectors)

[Lilruben1]

Hey guys so i recently got into an accident and rear ended someone. I bent my radiator, and condenser but neither are leaking as well as broke the plug coming off of the wastegate. I was getting a lot of codes from the plug breaking but managed to get it back on with some zipties and the codes went away. Now i am getting a VERY loud ticking noise from my valve cover that sounds like injectors on steroids. I have had no problems with the car since the accident and everything seems to be working fine except for the noise, and when i let off the gas my AFR shoots up to 29 for a second on the decel (not sure if thats normal or not but thought id mention) if anyone recognizes the sound or anything it would greatly help as this is my daily and would like it not to explode. Thanks in advance!

Can you take it to a dealership to review under warranty? It sounds like it may be fuel related.. injectors/fuel rail/ect.

Before the accident they were definitely audible but not this loud, ive never heard them from inside the car with the windows closed but now they are probably double the volume

Are you going to get it fixed through insurance? If so, you can make a claim and mention that and the insurance will have the dealer look at it and cover the cost of the repair ONLY if the dealership confirms it was accident related. Might be worth a shot.

Did you find out what it was?

Thats a normal noise, its sounds consistant right? Like eltrical zap zap zap zap. But more like a slower injector right? Mine does the same thing.
