engine problems

hey got a question for all you who will know....ive got a 95 toyota pickup with a 22re and ive tried to adjust my lifters and wow i think ive done it like 6 times its good for about a week and it starts to tick again....its the one closest to the firewall and its drives me nuts....it doesnt effect performance but its just annoying..anything i can do before replacing the topend she runs like a dream just sounds like a diesel!!! thx people

IM NOT SURE...I HAD A BUDDY THAT HAD THAT PROBLEM WITH HIS TRUCK BUT WHEN IT WAS FIXED IT NEVER DID IT AGAIN. IVE NEVER HAD TO ADJUST LIFTERS OR ANYTHING BUT COULD YOU USE LIKE SOME TYPE OF LOCKTIGHT OR EVEN TRY REPLACING THE STUDS. THEY COULD BE WORN OUT AND JUST LOOSENING THEMSELVES UP WITH THE VIBRATION.

yea i can check that out ...i was also gonna try some lucas oil and change to synthetic oils and see if that does any thing if not ill check that out if worse comes to worse ill just have to fork out some cash i guess for a new topend

it could be your timing chain mine used to tick like that really bad but when i put the new timming chain on it stoped

20/22r series motor does not have lifters, its an Over Head Cam style motor. You are adjusting the rocker/cam arms. If the nut keeps backing off then you need to replace it or check to see if its binding somewhere.

Tip, check your exhaust manifold for leaks especially around the air lines from the egr. Those have a tendancy to tick when they leak.

cool yea ill check that out too..i wish i knew how to post fotos id show u the truck..but yea ill check all thos out and see if they leak or if its binding
