So I'm new here and i got my 6th gen about 5 months ago for $1500 from a carmax car was in immaculate condition no dings or anything. Well i come here today due to what i and others seem to believe is a cam problem. When i get the car over 2 and a half thousand RPM. There's a realllllly noticeable knocking coming from the top of my engine i've been told it's the heads, the cam, the tensioner, the valves, the timing belt. and everything Champion Toyota told me i need a whole new engine.
I have no clue and if it is the cam, i've had hell finding a new one. any support? answers? please help, thanks |

well it sounds like someones tapping a key on the inside of the valve cover so i guess a ticking could suffice? i honestly think it's a valve or the cam i don't know i'm to tired lol. but we'll figure it out i appreciate your good spirit cause i don't have one lol

Have your mechanic friend check out the engine and see what's up to be sure but chances are you're fine [with maybe a little head work]. Be sure to use the 98+ metal HG if he pulls the head.Edit - just saw you're an ST - not sure when the metal HG came out for those.
