Turn the ignition off whilst the revs are high-ish. Tappet noise will continue and reduce as the engine stops. Injector noise will stop immediately.
That's what I read from Brianmoooore once, but I tried it and still wasn't certain !!!

These are sensations as hard to forget as they are to ignore.....

take the lid off and start the car... you'll hear (and see) your tappets!
