Ok, so I changed my driver's side rocker arms and rocker arm shafts. My noise did get better but it is not gone. Before I replaced them 4 of the 6 moved side to side. With the brand new OEM rockers and shafts, one still had play in it. My noise is better, but it is NOT gone. I am getting a bit frustrated and weighing my options right now...
-
I would assume it is recommended to replace the rockers that are on that shaft as well, not just the shaft.
-
Then that would be a matter of replacing the rocker arm shafts? Those come with the rocker arms on them? Just the noise of you wiggling them sounds a lot like my noise, just less extreme. I guess I know what I am doing soon...

Sorry for the long post ahead of time.... It definitely sounds like it is coming from the top. It definitely sounded like it was coming from the driver's side so I replaced the driver's side lifters (brand new from Nissan dealership) and the sound didn't change at all. None of the old lifters that I took out were collapsed or even compressable by hand. It doesn't really go away when you rev it, just harder to hear over the engine. Like I mentioned before, the only time it actually goes away is during engine braking. The only thing I can think that changes during engine braking vs idle or accelerating is vacuum increases. Engine has 232,xxx miles, new OEM driver's side lifters, new pcv valve, doens't burn or leak a drop of oil. I am at a loss at this point. I guess it wouldn't be too dificult to check the passenger side lifters. It sounds like either driver's side or middle of engine. I guess its time to get the stethescope out again. If I remember correctly, with the stethescope it was more pronounced on the drivers side VC, head, and exhaust mani. Very hard to exactly pinpoint it again.

No need to man up when I could/did wait till today when it is 38 degrees...
-
I will try to make a video when I get a chance, it is 15 degrees outside right now...
-
I have definitely thought about that but it sounds VERY metalic.

Yeah pretty much, I don't know about REALLY high RPM's, rarely get that high, but I can definitely hear it when I am driving, just cruising. It is worse when idleing or at a steady RPM though.
-
I can hear mine just about any speed, my tach doesn't work so I don't know my rpm's but its always there, like if I am cruising in 5th (5-speed manual) at 40-45 I can hear it, if I accelerate, I can hear it, but if I am cruising at that speed and let off the gas, while still in gear, it goes away.

So I'm going to bring this thread back... My ticking is just too annoying. After talking to multiple people (techs, engine builder) the diagosis was that it was the driver's side lifters. I replaced the driver's side lifters with new ones from Nissan. No change whatsoever. It is concistent with engine speed, does not change when engine is warmed up. I did notice last night that the ticking goes away when slowing down in gear, engine braking. I was wondering if that info helps anyone come up with any other ideas.

I was actually at HF yesterday, only because it was down the street from the Hobby Shop I went to... I was eyeballing that same winch pretty hard but I have learned, and I question EVERYTHING sold at HF. Hearing that it is made by Smittybuilt makes me feel a bit better about it and may have to venture back there one day soon.
