I've always owned Hondas. Their engines, by design are very quiet.

I've finally bought an 04 Tacoma 4dr and love it. I have 1600 miles on it.

I have one question before I take it in for an "expert" to listen to it.....:

I have a light knock when the engine is fully warm and at idle ~700 rpm. It is not audible at other times. It's only audible with the windows down, but can be heard with the hood down.

It seems to be from the pass side head cover area. I cannot pinpoint it. Is it:
1. Normal ignitor/coil noise from the 3 shared coils?
2. Normal Injector noise?
3. Hydraulic lifter? or does the V6 have solid lifters that require adjustment similar to Honda.

Can someone critically listen to their truck and feedback?

Thanks, Bob J.
