engine noise

Hi everyone,

on a v6 engine has a louder tick noise on the driver side comparing from the passenger side of the engine. the sound as if a toppet clearance noise.

thanks

 

normal on the 2nd gen tacomas. there is a small black canister type module located on the driver side,close to the front spark plug.....some have unbolted it and put a rubber washer/o-ring on the bolt to help eliminate the noise. other than that, nothing to worry about man!!

 

After hearing similar complaint, but about 8 different solutions, all with varying or no success.

The conclusion seems to be it's normal. Even my Toy dealership said so in writing.

 

The "Tacoma tick"....embrace it,cherish it....get used to it!
