Hello I just bought a 94 GT celica and have noticed what I believe is lifter/rocker noise or tapping sound.
At first I thought it was an exhaust leak or rattle but that doesn't seem to be the case. -So my motor has 132,000 miles on it. How often are the liftters/rockers supposed to be adjusted? -*Do these motors usually have noisy lifters/rockers?* I had 4 different Isuzu 4cylinder motors with adjustable rocker arms and they all had a tapping noise no matter what condition they were in. I guess it was common occurrence with those motors... |

Sorry I don't have an audio clip, However it does it all the time at startup, after driving it, etc.
-I believe it increases when the engine rpm increases. but it does not get louder, just increases in speed. -I can't hear it inside the car. -But you can outside the car with the hood down and it is louder with it up. -I will investigate more tomorrow. -So there is nothing to adjust on these motors like rockers on the valves? I am new to this style of engine so any info. is great. Thanks... |
