Ticking sound coming from the motor
Unless you've got a lot of carbon build-up and deposits in your engine.

sounds like a normally noisy valvetrain. I doubt if it's something that necessitates getting into and replacing parts unless it gets worse and there seems be an effect on the car. Ignore the other guy, the welds on your manifold will hold just fine. But if washers start pinging off of your floorpan, pull over and get a tow.
That's what I'm thinking too...

Thanks everyone for the input!
check your oil level, might be low on oil,the vq35's that burnt oil sounded like that when low on oil, and who cares if your dealer changed it, check it yourself man god dam it

Do you know which pulley it was?
So there are all sorts of possibilities of what it could be. Since the car is still under full factory warranty, I will bring it in for them to look at it. Will let you all know tomorrow about the oil level.

If there is silicone deposits in the heater core then you will hear a ticking sound coming from the dash. There is a TSB on it. I don't have that issue.
I submitted the videos to the Service Department on Friday and have yet to hear back (not surprised). I will make an appointment to drop the car off or just wait for the next oil change.

Wanted to provide an update. Car has been dropped off at the dealer to have faulty TPM sensors replaced while the car is still under warranty. They will give a listen to the car as well. I will post up what they find. My money is on "It's Normal".
