Valve ping'ing a'little>>>>>

Hey all I dunno if this is the prob, but I hear a little tappin in the valves and I was wondering if its like an Honda,, where the MAX'es needs ever valve adjustments or not?? I hear a little ping,, but not bad to where its knockin and no the oil is not low.

The Maxima has a bucket and shim setup. Adjustment is possible, but not reccomended. Maxima engines do make slight valve ticking noises, this is perfectly normal.
