bignum Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Does anyone else get the clatter noise from the top end when starting from cold, its more when the throttle is blipped but goes away after 30 seconds or so, thinking or hoping its not serious as there is loads of info on google all toyota, some say it could be a shim hanging up before the oil has warmed, or the valve clearences need doing?.somebody put my mind at rest.

Mike M Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 yep, especially after its been sitting for two weeks it clatters / taps for a good 30secs then clears. Day to day it just a quick clatter but mine is quite tappety sounding anyway especially with the oil cap off. I know my valve clearance checks are overdue having done 86k now.

Chris Wilson Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Possibly a combination of valve guide and bucket bore wear. The clearances themselves are pretty straightforward to check, to isolate them as a potential cause. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
