loud ticking from engine
Hello, i am new to this forum and recently purchased a 1997 toyota 4runner with a 4 cyl engine. Car runs great the only issue im having is a ticking noise that can only be heard from inside the vehicle, it sounds like a small jack hammer. It only starts making the noise after about 10 minutes of the car running, goes away after about 3k rpm but doesnt tick faster when the engine revs higher, just ticks at same rate. But like i said the ticking goes away after about 3k rpm and when the rpm is dropping after being revved or even in gear and let off the gas but then ticks again, also one funny thing is once its ticking, its mostly heard when the car is idling but once the car is turned off and then immediately turned back on the ticking goes away but then comes back on after few minutes as usual. I cant here a thing when i pop the hood and let the car run even tho it can be heard from inside the car. i thought it might be the valves but im sure if it was, the ticking would tick faster as the engine revs and it doesnt, also im sure i would here it when i pop the hood and try to listen for it which i dont here a thing, engine sounds like its running just fine. I also thought it would be the distributor shaft but wouldnt that tick faster when the engine is revved? Any help would be great and thank you
