Which engine is it?

Are you in ID? Near Meridian? If so, I can help.

Valve adjustment is probably in order. If you haven't had it done, and no record of the previous owner doing it...then I'd say you're due. Mine need to be adjusted again, and I get the same "clacking" noise you're describing.

Assuming you are talking about the 3VZE V6.

Thing about valve adjustments in this application is that they'll usually get tighter over time than loosen.

Now, having said that the 3.slow is a noisy engine. The injectors themselves are very noisy.

I'd suggest you find one like yours somewhere and listen to it, what you are hearing may be normal for the 3VZE.

My 3.0 just has a ticking injector...sounds relatively normal otherwise.

The injectors are particularly noisy on the 3.slows.
