engine knock?

[rotarex]

i can hear my valves when driving with offroad tires, is that normal for everyone? sounds like a fan that has a clicker on the end, so its tapping fast, if its a problem anything that i can do my self?

Is it 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive? A slight ticking is normal for your valves. The air fan sound is normal. All these Japanese engines sound like huge vacuum cleaners. Why did you mention off road tires? If its a 4wheel drive and you hear ticking you may want to check your CV joints. The first sign when they start to go is a clicking sound, especially when turning.

what year is your truck? It's it's a 22r/re it's definitely normal. The fan and valve noise from those things can get pretty loud. I remember mine always quieted down after a fresh oil change.

Just make sure it's not pinging you're hearing, because that sounds similar (in my opinion)

Good luck!

If theyre loud its not normal. A slight ticking is normal. Loud means theyre telling you to adjust them.

its 4 wheel drive and V6 the ticking im hearing i know its valves, i did engine flush and still heard it i think its pretty normal, ohhh well i guess if its not wasting any gas and efficent its ok then

I have a 22R and when I punch the gas, I can hear a bdddd bdddd sound, sounds almost like a diesel. Is that valves too? I've heard of people adjusting the valves differently to stop this sound, any suggestions?

Check out this thread and scroll down to 87_SR5's post and listen to his sound clip of his valves before he omited the problem. If your motor sounds like this sound clip, most likely it just needs the valves adjusted. If the motor has high milage, it may need the adjusting screws replaced.

thanks qsd-dan i heard the clip his is a little louder i think, but looks like from what i read all pickups have this problem so im not to worried, but i seen some timing kit that sells on some site out there thats suppose to fix this problem, sells for $315 usd, so if anyone used it, and it works giving better results i would try it to.

I wouldn't say this is normal. My valves are quiet, almost dead silent to be honest.

I had a 89 22R at about 100k my valves started clicking had them adjusted and it still clicked.
