I'll update if the noise returns.

He also mentioned something about ester oil? Is that worth it on the Z?
Its up to you but I feel the ester oil isn't worth the cost, its $12 a quart and it won't last more than 3000 miles.

I'm running mobil1 0w40 and I am not having any valve chatter or strange noises coming from the engine what so ever, another oil I'd suggest running is castrol 0w30 since it has all the same additives as mobil1 0w40.
