Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Engine ticking permanently after hard acceleration

Hello, when I bought the car, I'm using Royal Purple 5w30 engine oil and K and N oil filter. I'm using Exxon Premium gasoline.

The engine was smooth until today.

I did a W.O.T hard acceleration when passing a semi-truck on a 2-lane highway.

Now I can hear a small ping/knocking sound especially during idle and soft acceleration.

Did I mess up the valve train or something? Oil is still full.

Thanks.
