tick

Thanks to this forum I decided to look for my cold start up tick by looking at my plugs. Found it! More than likely saved many $’s. I am not sure when the plugs were changed but all but 2 I would consider loose.

Hey guys I just picked up a 1990 HDJ81 at auction. I’ve got a ticking noise that sounds like it’s coming from the bell housing, oil pan area. I’ve tried narrowing it down to a specific but unable to. If I accelerate it gets faster. It does almost sound sporadic and not like a rod knock...

What… A… Job… BUT, man does it feel amazing to have this fixed I had “the tick” on the drivers side and it was starting to drive me batty, so I decided I had to do something. I researched the DT Headers, and while it appears they are CARB legal now, it wasn’t easy to find them, and I also...

I have a tick. It’s been there since I got the rig some years ago. While I’ll freely admit I’m slightly OCD and the rig is running fine…..I’m working my butt off to make this a forever car I’ll drive in retirement. I’m also aware of several potential culprits like exhaust leaks, valve...

I have a 2002 Toyota sequoia and am having a terrible time trying to locate this tick. I got it with 209000 miles and had to replace a leaking cam seal so I did timing belt and water pump new pulleys with new tensioner valve cover gaskets fluid intake manifold gasket and starter (didn’t need a...

Hey all, My A/C never worked while in Japan, but it was hardly ever an issue with the climate there. When I came back to the states, however, I got the system recharged and it has been working great ever since (year and a half). Unfortunately, the compressor started to go and finally failed...

I posted this video on a couple Vortec forums, noone so far seems to know what the cause of this noise is... I posted this video: So I'm going to throw it up here and see if all you "toyota guys" can shed some light on the situation. Happens when warm. Takes a minute to start again when...

So I changed my big end bearings last weekend and need some advice. I Replaced the original OEM bearings (marked with "4", BEB Pictures Here) with standard size taiho. The old bearings looked ok and all of the rod journals looked good. I plastigauged only cylinder #4 and it was right in...

Hi all, I'm trying to track down a ticking noise that comes from the driver's side after the engine has warmed up a bit. Follows the rev range. I assumed it was a manifold gasket or a cracked manifold. I removed the manifold this weekend and didn't see any cracks. I made a Photobucket album...

My '96 cruiser with 287,000 has a knock bad enough to throw a code for a knock sensor. The knock is rhythmic and increases on acceleration. In trying to determine if it's a bearing or something in the top end, I listened to the engine using a stethescope and a long screwdriver. My assumption is...
