Diagnose - Soft Engine Tick (Very loud for Injectors)

[kieferw]

Hi
Hoping I could get some opinions as to a soft ticking noise I am getting from the top end of my engine
Could be injectors but it is quite loud (and has gotten louder since I got the vehicle)

Does it at idle, audible outside the vehicle but not inside with windows closed
Not audible driving with windows open at any speed.
Noise increases with engine RPM and either goes away or gets drowned out by other engine noises at higher RPMs (with no load)

I threw in some injector cleaner but havent driven it much yet.

Hopefully the audio is good enough

Thanks everyone!

Valve ticks. Pretty normal for most Nissan engines. But that sounds a bit louder than normal. May want to have someone look at it.

Thanks Biggie,
Kind of what I figured too.. I think the recording does make it sound louder than it may actually be..
(I still hear the valve ticks but I think the injectors have quieted down a bit since putting some cleaner in)
Good to know about NIssan and valve ticks though as thats what was worrying me

I have an appt at the dealer anyways end of next week
Keep her out of the 6K range till I know more

Thanks again!
