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... |

I have a sound like that right now... I've rebuilt my engine (after spinning a rod bearing) and it sounds like a lifter might be sticking.. The best guess i've heard right now is because my new bearings aren't spaced right (new bearings with wear on crankshaft) so its taking more oil than normal.. so my lifters are getting less oil so they are making a noise... i'm gonna try a thicker oil to see if that helps...
but if anyone knows of a way to make this noise go away.. please let us know!!! -------------------- ~Daniel~ No Longer Celica Owner.. moved on to a 03 WRX-EJ207
