Is this a normal sound

He seems like he knows what he is talking about from most of his posts. He's been working on engines for a while according to his site but u never know the real deal but regardless I've tried step A: 10 min 2000 idle rpm and the noise went away so far. It's only been 1 day of driving. Also keep in mind my car only has 10000 miles so I don't know if that matters. We shall see, more days to come- ill keep everyone posted.

Have you tried using Nissan's Ester oil? They claim it cures the valve train noise, in fact they wrote a TSB for it.

Yes Ester oil since the beginning.

Might have to invest in some tick filtering earplugs then. Just learn to ignore the noise, all the VQ's tick to some extent.
