yeah the 2.7's do sound dieselish, what's up with that??? Have you heard of any way to quiet these 2.7's down a bit??? I'm about to remove my flowmaster 40 but I remember I couldn't stand the noisy engine before I put the muffler on. so this mod won't quiet up our 2.7's???

tacomaracing · 07-27-2008, 01:34 PM

i dont know--- im still working on it let you know tho....

Good thread Chris. This should be a stickey.

tacomaracing · 08-04-2008, 09:53 AM

turns out it was the hydraulic rocker bases on my 2.7 that was ticking. i used 5-40 (instead of 5-30)and a quart of Lucas synthetic oil treatment,,, that did the job.. keep in mind in i have rite at 100,000 miles,but its a Toyota// so hell i do not know what the deal is

DID NOT WORK

tacomaracing · 08-07-2008, 01:28 PM

its the rocker lifters,$68 bucks each what the%*@!. why doesn't Toyota have a 100,000 warranty on new stuff..
what i want to know is how in the hell do they collapse!!! know what i mean.

Jakub · 08-11-2008, 03:12 PM

I noticed the same problem occuring after my last oil change. It started after about 4k miles after I changed the oil.

sympton:

tick tick tick tick tick tick goes away for a few seconds and comes back to tick tick tick tick.

This goes on to repeat itself.

TacomaRacing- how did you find out that it was the rocker lifters. Does your ticking go away after you raise the RPM's? That is what mine does. It seems as soon as the oil starts flowing at a higher extent the ticking goes away.

Take it easy,
Jakub

tacomaracing · 08-13-2008, 09:57 AM

yes,the same thing i changed the oil with mobil1 0-20 this time again(4 days ago) it help a lot but still does it a little. the rocker lifters have to be submerged in oil and mines not doing that,I'm trying to find some type of oil filter restricter to bump the oil pressure up 10 more pounds or a different brand oil filter. (i use the OEM filter)
what model is your truck

Jakub · 08-13-2008, 10:09 AM

Well I can't find the PWM on the 2.7L.

Anyone???

I am more convinced that it is the rockers. They need to be filled with oil to actuate correctly, sometimes they do not fill with oil so the chamberis empty and the noise occurs.

I am going to tear into mine the next day or two if I cannot find the valve that they are talking about on the 4.0L models.

2005 2WD 2.7 Access Cab fully stock. Ran 5-30 mobil from day one.

Would the PWM valve only operate when its warm. My problem only occurs when the truck is warmed up. Which leads me to the rockers because of the oil change in temp.

Anyone?

tacomaracing · 08-13-2008, 10:18 AM

mine is all the damn time.its the quitest at start up!!!!!

tacomaracing · 08-13-2008, 02:56 PM

UNHAPPY GREG · 10-08-2008, 12:10 AM

The valve noise in my P.O.S. is the same if not worse than it was after 2500 mi.Toyota tell's me it's normal I think not!!!. I hope they get their #%*$$ together.UNHAPPY GREG with a P.O.S 2006 tacoma trd sport.
