After replacing the oil pressure sender the reading on the dash is looking better. As for the power steering pump, I am not sure if it has been replaced.

I am running a Toyota filter (90915-YZZD3) and 5W-30. I am hopefully getting it back from the mechanic tomorrow so we will see what he says.

So, took it to another mechanic and he said that it did not need a rebuild in his opinion. I said cool and took it home. On the way home it misfired and the check engine light came on. Got it back to the mechanic and it stopped clunking. He is looking at it again

Replaced the oil pressure sender. Gauge is reading better.

So…I took it to a shop to get looked at. They said that the noise sounded like timing chain noise and that I should get a full rebuild. They confirmed that the manual oil pressure looked fine. Said that the noise was coming from the oil pan and was most likely timing chain than something on the...

I am probably going to eventually replace that pump gear. With what you described though, the tick stays around even once the engine is warm.

After listening to to the tick some more with a screw driver, it seems the sound is coming from the front bottom of the engine near the crank pulley. As I move towards the back it lessens a bit.

I changed the oil filter and cut open the old one. Did not really see any metal deposits or anything.

I checked oil pressure. Once warm the pressure was sitting around 20 psi. When revved to 3000rpm it went up to about 55psi. After revving a few times it went down to about 12psi. Not sure if these are normal numbers.

Here is a video: It does not sound as loud in person

What should the pressure be at?

I am pretty sure it is not the belts, I am going to go more bigger this weekend but it sounds like it is coming from the engine. From doing research it may be the rod bearings but hopefully not. I ordered a new oil pressure sender to see if that is the oil pressure problem.

Hey, I realize that there are a lot of threads addressing an engine tick in the 1fz-fe engine but I have not been able to find one that seems to fit my issue. I have a 1997 Toyota Landcruiser FZJ80 with the 1FZ-FE. It has an engine tick that seems to be coming from the bottom/front of the...
