just bought 94 22re. slight ticking noise in the top end. any ideas?
I just bought a new to me 94 toyota pickup with a 22re that has a tick once per revoloution in the top end. Does anyone have any common ideas as to what I can check / it might be?
Valves out of adjustment maybe?

mines not an E model, so it's a little quieter. all i can hear are the belts, and the fan.
i'm afraid my flywheels/starter will end up destroyed for all the people that leave it running while erranding and try to restart it. once it ran for 15 hours outside a bank. quiet ? i guess so.

Not to sound like I know it all or anything, I certainly don't, but doesn't it make sense, when one acquires a used vehicle, to replace filters, old vacuum hose, pcv, clean egr, clean or better yet install new plugs, then check/set the valves, and idle, and timing? And change the oil and filter for crisake, give it a little Amsoil to help clean and lube the top end. How common is it that someone does all this when they put their old vehicle up for sale??? Basic tune-up stuff, get this out of the way and then listen to what she sounds like. Just my two freakin cents.

Hey now, to my credit, I have had the valve cover off and the timing chain and guides look good. This 22re I have now is the most quiet running one yet.
My last 86 had a loose rocker arm and the valves were loud as all hell and I sold it to TXclimber and he drove it for 4 more years and 60K miles like that so I'm not too worried about the one I have now.
Gnarls, if I drive down to AZ and buy you a couple sonoran hot dogs will you help me adjust them?
