How to cure lifter noise?
Title says it all. My SC300 makes some noise but generally quiets down at operating temps. Although at WOT, gets a little noisy. My other car, a Rav4, sounds like a bag of nails. Any tips on how to go about quieting this down? What to look for? Tune-ups (plugs, serp belt, wires) have been done, no leaking fluids, regular maintenance on all fluids on both cars. Just wondering...

1993 SC300 with 95,000 miles. Used Mobil 1 5W-30 or 10W-30 untila bout 85k, then switched to Valvoline MaxLife 10W-40 or Mobil's new synthetic blend 10W-40. Seems to quiet the car a bit. changed fluids every 3-5k, depending on whether I used sythetic of dyno oil. Haven't done timing belt yet...
The Toyota is a 1999 Rav4 with 38k miles on it. Just had 30k service done and everything checked out fine. My girl had everything done at dealer at regular intervals. Now I am changing the oil every 4k miles with 5W-30 synthetic blend, either Mobil 1 or Valvoline.
