96 tacoma engine ticks now..

i dont think its the inner one. I forget now, its been such a long day and I really hope this is the cause

 

Don't feel bad man, I walked 10 miles today because I was changing my belts out and had to order the AC tensioner pulley. So I go to put it on last night and The tension bolt under the alternator snapped. So I called Toyota this morning and they pointed me to two other specialty stores. So after a whole lot of BS I finally ended up rigging one up with a piece of threaded rod. But all in all, the belts aren't bad. I just take the air box out. I always get my belts from Toyota though.

 

ouch...I had that happen to my old 4runner, but luckily I had another ride.

 

Does the noise go away after the truck is running for a bit?

The valves are hydraulically operated (from what I understand) and the ticking/tapping sound is usually not enough oil pressure in the valves. After the truck runs for a bit, the pressure should build up and it should be fine.

I've had plenty of vehicles do this.

 

well, turns out it was the fan/ps belt making the noise. I went back to advance and asked them for another belt, without the funky grooves in it..I got home, exhanged them and it runs just as quiet as always. Thank god.

 

good deal.......told ya it would be something simple.

 

yea..lol thank god. I guess being 14 years old, and 133,500 miles she dont like change to well.

 

They usually don't. This is the ONLY reason I have not super charged mine.

Yeah, I would love to and the wife doesn't care, but 164k makes me nervous about adding it.
