O rly? lol

Also, why get an entire engine? Replace the cam, I'm sure that motor has tons of life left on it.

might as well do that let me see what i can do

I have a 95 Nissan Hardbody truck in my work bay right now that makes that same exact noise, my boss and another tech identified it as bad lifters in the driver side head, so I'm going to replace them on monday. Hopefully I'm not opening up a can of worms.

Anyways if your truck is making valvetrain noise, you could have a new head with cam, valves and lifters installed. Should be cheaper than $3500 and would fix the problem.

Let us know what your Nissan mechanic says...

I'm not an expert on engines by any means. But i did listen to your vid and read your explanations of the sound you have. I believe you have a lifter or all the lifters are dried out. You can just change the individual lifters but just getting a new head may be a cheaper way to go. This would save on mechanic labor costs. I think your issue is a rod bearing or anything in the bottom end because i think you said it goes away as you rev up the engine. Only problem I see now is finding which head has the bad lifter or lifters. If it could be narrowed down to that it could possibly save you a ton of money dude.

but I'm no expert on this stuff, just a few thoughts from personal experience.
