Ideas please??????
I have a 86 runner with a 22re and something has really scared me yesterday. I had the transmission swapped out last weekend because of bad syncro's in the old one and some other non-engine related work done. the next day, I drove it down to get a new tag (sat for a year) and all of a sudden it started making a ticking noise like in the upper valve trane.... It got progressively worse and I got really worried. at first it sounded like the top end and now it sounds like it may be in the bottom end, the strange thing is that it comes and goes. when at idle its really loud but when in gear and pulling it goes completely away and there is no noise at all. a friend of mine sayed I should check the plugs for a wet one because a stuck open injector could be a possible culprit.
I guess my question to you guy's is Have any of you experienced anything like this or is it just optimism on mine and my friends part.
I really hate to think the motor has tanked and I need a new one.....

pulled the plugs and the third one from front to back is definantly running lean, not soaking wet but still a lot darker and damper than the other three. I am going to pull the valve cover off now and chack the timing chain guides.

I took the valve cover off, but everything looked tight and in good order, It almost sounds like a broke piston or something., I cant figure it out. anyone have a similar issue with a 22re. it doesnt knock like a valve clicking or a constant rod knock., it will idle fine but when you rev it up it gets loud with sort of a clack clack clack clack clack noise.

thanks, yes I already thought about it but it is definantly something metal hitting metal kinda sound. I was hoping the friends suggestion about the fuel injector would yield more hits but as I said in my first post, all this optimism is probably being wasted and I will probably just have to buy another motor.

My thoughts exactly. If your torque convertor is not pushed all the way back before installing or if your torque convertor bolts are loose........or flexplate for that matter........your engine will make a noise similar to what you are describing.

Muffler Berrings???..... Check the valve lash and timing chain. Or drop the tranny and put her back up. Also add a little more thread locker the nex time you put the tranny up.

I am going to try and record the sound and post it up somewhere so if you guy's want you can listen to it as well.
