22-RE Ticks after warm up, but not at all when cold
I have a 1991 Toyota pick up with a 22-RE. It has 134,000 miles on it. When the engine is started cold there is no ticking, and it actually sounds fairly quiet compaired to some other 22r's I've heard. But, as the temp rises it starts to tick and it is pretty loud by the time it gets to normal temp. It's a rythmic TICK-TICK-TICK-TICK that gets faster and slower with the rpms. The noise is defenatly comming from the top of the motor, seemingly louder in the back. I was going to try adjusting the valves first. What else could be the problem?

easy to do. It takes maybe 10 min to do (well for your first time maybe 45 min)
I belive its 7 exhaust and 11 intake when cold and 8 intake and 12 exhaust when warm. (Ive always had better luck doing it cold)

I'm not sure if its the valves cause it does not tick when it's cold. Is this what happens when valves need adjusting?..the noise starts after the motor has been running for about 10 minutes?

Not to suggest that is what is happening with yours, just that an adjustment is the right thing to do.
