1993 Toyota 22RE ticking after valve adjustment
Just bought this truck a few months ago and this weekend I decided to check the valve adjustment.
The truck sounded great before, at least at idle, considering the exhaust is loosely attached to the header and there's a .50cal size hole in the muffler lol!
I followed the FSM http://www.eagleoneresearch.com/manual/ToyotaMaual.pdf
Page 32
I'm positive I was on the proper stroke while doing the adjustment!
I even rotated the engine 4-5 times double checking the clearance after adjustment on both sets of valves on both strokes. I also made an effort to keep the feeler gauge flush with the valve stem/rocker while adjusting
Before the adjustment I could not even get the proper size feeler gauge between rocker and valve stem. I wouldn't be surprised if PO just made them 'tight'
Should I be worried about the valve noise? Is 'too loose' better than 'too tight'?
Thanks!

Loose is better than tight.
One mans 'ticking' is anothers 'just right'.
I don't know why everybody wants their 22re to run completely silently.
Properly adjusted solid lifter engines seldom do.
