97 2.7 Motor Noise
First Time Post. My 97 4x2 4Runner has a noise in the upper head/valve cover area. It is a "light growling/churning sound heard at idle. I ordered this truck new for my sister-in-law and just picked it up from her in January with 115k. I have replaced all fluids and filters. Plus EGR valve, plugs and all belts. The truck runs great, good power burns no oil and gets 22mpg all the time. I thought the noise was in one of the attachments on the front of the motor (AC, Alt, PS) I removed all the belts and the noise is still present. FYI 2.7 Auto 4x2 with factory 12.5 disc brakes factory 16' wheels (stock large tires) and a 4.10 rear gear. Please Help!!!

Thanks
The motor idles smooth, but the noise is not normal it sounds like something is making contact in the head (timing chain?) I am thinking maybe the guides?
