Help!!!! 22RE ticking noise?

jirwin · 10-08-2007, 10:29 AM

22 re w/ 100,000 orig miles, timing chain was bad(broken guide), replaced following order in manual:

sprockets
chain
guide
dampener
tensioner
valve cover gasket
oil pan gasket
oil & filter x2 (b/c flush)
all 3 belts
air filter
distributor rotor button

now engine has ticking from rear valve area on head,
perfect in time w/ timing light,
we flushed motor w/ engine flush- changed oil-again,
then checked valve gaps w/ feeler guage(ok),,
followed all trouble shooting ideas in haynes repair manual for toyota,
tick does not get louder w/ high rpm- just faster??
and has good oil pressure, drives fine w/ no misses??.....
I need help, ideas please??

Welcome to the site;

Check the valve lash. These little guys often get a little loose and make a bit of a click.

check, recheck, and check one more time the valve lash. are they hydraulic or solid lifters?

dont forget.. intake closes, set exhaust exhaust opens, set intake
