2005 Tacoma Ticking

Is this the normal Tacoma tick? Or is it more? It seems to go away when revved but the truck is straight piped cat back so it’s hard to hear.

 

Sounds like a normal 4.0L to me, here's mine for comparison.

Thank you it does sound the same. I’ve got 436 000 km on it and I got it for 3200$Cad or 2350$USD so I’ve been so skeptical. Frame is rough but it’s not the worst I’ve ever seen.

 

Mine has a soft tick, but yours sounds a bit more clunky. A proper inspection wouldn't be a bad idea either way, given the condition you found it in.

 

I too have the taco tick, 2011 200k

 

Have any of y’all adjusted your valve clearances?

 

There's a clunk I hear that's not normal.

I checked mine and everything was still in spec at 180k miles
