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... |

there are no rockers, but there are shims for the valves. you can take off the valve cover and check the shim spec with a feeler gauge.
get youself a car stethoscope at your local car parts store and start poking around. a lot of the times, what you think is engine noise, might be something else. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
