Ok the noise is a ticking when light throttle is applied throughout all of the gears. And i can feel i tapping on my foot when its on the clutch, what could this be! The truck has a new head, the timing stuff looks good, also the valves were just adjusted and it has a new exhaust manifold.

TIA

Sonofmayhem

anyone? just guess and give me ideas!

TIA

could be a small exhaust leak

Sonofmayhem

well i replaced the manifold gasket, how can i tell? i also just RTV any gaps in the exhaust system and felt a nice increase in crusing, i caught myself going 50 in a 40 cause i wasnt use to it.

Elton

you could try running a can of seafoam and seeing where its leaking from in sure there some other ways

Sonofmayhem

Thats what i did, when i found out about the exhaust manifold leak. i was hoping i could use the 300 on some sliders, but it looks like its goin into exhaust work....

Sonofmayhem

Didnt find any leaks, not even any smoke after the sea foam. if its not fixed when my valves are done, or when i get the exhaust 'leak tested' then im just gonna through in a 4.3 vortec baby.

BTW whats the cold valve adjustment measurements, i have no visible stickers on my hood so i cant find out that way.

Thanks.

and i figured it was just a toyota thing. both of my 22re's have a slight tick and so do two of my buddies w/ 22re's.

When your on the throttle slightly? i have had 2 22res, and this is the only one that made the noise. My other one in my 85 was perfect, especially after having a 188xxx mile timing set that only blew because some ass hat took out my crankshaft pulley bolt, causing oil to go everywhere except the engine, which caused the low pressure to allow the chain to chew up the plates. this is just irritating buying something that you dont know everything about.

Does anyone know the cold valve adjustment measurements? im getting them redone and the company wont do them warm, does anyone know? thanks. and its still the throttle tick.

They won't do them warm? I have a master mech from Liberty that does mine on the side for $40. Want his name? He just did mine last month.

If you feel tapping on your CLUTCH foot, that would indicate some type of throwout bearing problem....??

Sonofmayhem

well poo, they are gonna come by this weekend and do it again and if it continues id like the guys name and # please.lol

Elton

.007 on the intake and .011 on the exhaust

Sonofmayhem

thanks, i think he did 8 and 12 but i may be going to toyota to get somethings looked at or maybe just a local shop. its really aggrevating.
