Take a screwdriver. Place it on various parts on running engine, ear on handle: u can listen and pinpoint the source. Next find from manual whats in tHere....

Go to stealership and ask for quotation. Then go somewhere else to get it repaired for 1/3 price. Ask ppl for a reference for a good shop...

- If the problem is valve lifters, buy original Nissan oil filter, replace with oilchange. Before that, DIY Clean engine oil channels with seafoam.

- If the noise has been since belt change, might be that round teeth belt has been used on square cam sprockets: stealer$hip had done this to my max, no other problem but noise.
