My son developed an engine knock in his FJ60, he was on his way to LSC Roundup, drove it 80 miles to Irving, when drove up in Kristies driveway he noticed it.
He pulled the pan, checked the rod and mains visiually and checked for play, found none.
Oil pressure halfway on the gauge idling, noise is very inconsistent, sometime it's there and sometimes it's not, no pattern as to when it comes and goes (accleration-idling-decelleration etc)
I remember reading several times about the rubber insulator on the cam gear doing this........any suggestions on pinpointing other than tearing into it?
Using a stethescope, the loudest area on the engine seems to be around the front of the block on the distributor side.
If it is the gear is Toyota the only source?
