I wouldn't recommend adjusting the valvetrain. Leave it be. Ticking isn't always the valvetrain. Coule be a number of things...
Have you tried removing the serpentine belt? I'd start there... |

At this point, unless you're not under warranty (mandatory warranty period for Nissan is 36 months/60k miles) is to take it in to the service department and make them deal with it. If the issue isn't resolved, you can take the issue up further with regional or national. There's no use in trying to fix it or diagnose the problem yourself.

^I went to the service department the other day and this douche didn't know what a TSB was. He was also messing around on his phone which really pissed me off. I was not pleased with that visit to the service department. I can't believe that some of the Nissan dealerships hire these people.

Now go take your car to the dealers as others have suggested as well.
Or, are you sure the ticking is valve train related and not confusing it with injector ticking? You could go buy an automotive stethoscope to determine where the tick is originating from. Then go back to the dealer if it is determined that it's the valve train.

Wrong. Go read the section EM of the service manual and look for "Camshaft Valve Clearance - Inspection and Adjustment". Sure as heck sounds serviceable to me.

That's in fact what's happening here, I have taken it to 3 different dealers, and all have said that it's "normal valve train noise." A field service engineer came out from Nissan to listen to the problem and he actually said something different. "normal injector sound." So I've just assumed since he's an engineer, he knows whats up. Still sucks though, hopefully my FI exhaust will make me notice the exhaust tone over the tapping.

From what I have been told by service managers, this is one of the reasons they recommend their billion dollar oil, its to help quiet the engine which is probably the valves clicking.

It would sound about like a supercharger growl... Belts can squeak and tick, bearings in the alternator, for example, could have a rough edge resulting in a tick...just sayin' |
