well i guess people dont rebuild motors no more or somethin i cant believe no one can help me with this.....ok....would if i say that in my motor theres a tickin noise that sounds like my valves are tickin but i check the valves and set the clearance for them which was 8 intake 13 exaust...but when i finished there was still a ticking noise like as if there is no oil or somethin so i did an oil change, but still tickin so my last guess is the rocker arms because i know that once u pull the head off it relieves pressure from them and they could be worn. but i want to check the clearance first before i have to replace them...plus i have to know the clearance still for the new rocker arms any ways...is there any body in this "toyota nation" that would know by any chance....PLS...im affraid that i might have to take off the head again just to fix this problem...
