After a couple months of replacing my clutch my engine makes a clicking noise when i accelerate. It never made the noise prior to replacement and seems to be getting louder and more intense. the mechanic said that it was the fuel injection.

Where is the noise coming from? What is emitting the noise and what is it related to, engine, transmission or drive axles?

If the fuel injector is clicking, the noise should not be too loud. I would think it is more likely to be the valve lifters.
