Question Ticking noise below 2000-2500 rpm

whenever my engine is at idle or below about 2000-2500 rpms a ticking sound (more like metal on metal) can be heard. if you increase the rpms while still under the 2000-2500 mark the ticking does not change frequency, so i don't think it is the timing chain although it is coming from that end of the engine.

could be that one of the 4 cylinders doesn't work at that speed range. Plug out the spark plug wire one by one to check if something or not. By careful, it's high voltage and might have arc.

I think thats a common problem with the KA, I read some where after hearing this sound myself that it was a common problem but it wasnt anything that would cause problems, just more of a nuisance, if we are talking about the same thing which I think we are.

I would agree with this as well. If your car has alot of miles and you are using say a 5w-30 oil it can make a noise like this. I would try moving up a vis range and use a Nissan oil filter to see if this clears up the noise.
