I hate the idea of something coming brand new from the factory, and then having to open it up when it was designed to be left intact for its lifetime. I had a similar tick on my Nissan at 300 mi., and now the car is at 140k. Point being I don't think anything is wrong with it, it may be vacuum, MAF, injector, something, but it doesn't seem to be related to internal moving parts.

So yes, we all seem to hear this noise, but is opening the motor up and replacing things the solution? I'm not sure, just asking....my .02

If you don't think anything is wrong , good for you but to each its own.
