Haha well what a few of us were talking about with the timing chain guides is a common problem with the KAs that Nissan gave us. A lot of times they break off and cause some serious issues and even if that's not the problem, it still never hurts to go ahead and take it off cause it's an unnecessary part.

My clicking sound stopped!!! After revving the engine a few times a lil higher, everything smoothed out...i put in something from Castro ..it was gooey; put it in where you normally put the oil. After letting the car warm up more, the it did not click anymore! Hope it stays good ! Gonna check up on it this coming weekend
