Default engine is making a tapping noise

my engine makes a tapping noise like a the valves need adjusting but i adjusted them way too many times and i still hear it. I heard that it could be the injectors cause it sounds like its coming from there. If it is the injectors why is it making this noise and what can i do to fix it? Let me know what you guys think cause im getting irritated with the tapping. its really loud and can hear it from inside my car.

Could be injectors or valves. Also could be distributor or some bearings somewhere. Also could be something loose somewhere. Unless you have a recording it's kind of hard to tell.
