Engine ticking when cold 2.7L 2000 Tacoma
I've had this ticking all winter.
It does it when it's cold.
It goes away when it's warm.
It's coming from the exhaust side of the engine.
It lasts 2 minutes.
I know that there is some information out there about
piston slap which is caused by thermal expapansion which
goes away after the engine warms up a bit but does not seem
to do any other harm.
I know that 5W30 Mobile 1 and 15W40 Mobile 1 do not make it goaway.
I know that injector clearner and Mavel Mystery oil in the gas
do nothing.
Are there any more tests I can do to narrow it down ?

Every muti-valve engine that I have put synthetic in has done the same thing. After years of this in multiple vehicles, I just ignore it or turn the stereo up.
