2jzgte ticking
Does not really have any affect on how the motor runs, just annoying. No smoke, idles fine, and pulls very strong. Its a gte aristo motor with stock twins. Anybody have any guess what is making this ticking noise? Tried different oil viscosity and brand, popped my valve cover everything seems ok. It's not coming from the front/timing belt area but towards intake manifold side. Could this be valve shim?
Pardon my loud fan

did you ever do any headwork? or were the camshafts ever taken out? is there any chance the buckets and/or shims were swapped around? from the factory they are clearanced specifically for each valve
if i were you i would pull the valve covers off and inspect the valve clearances with a feeler gauge.
heres the service manual procedure

Already planning on doing that just dont have time and I need to get a feeler gauge. I dont redline this car, may be only 3x in the past 3 months. Lol Does this require immediate attention?

Did you found out what was wrong with it? What does it mean when oil sparkles? Was it burning oil/coolant? Was there a compression problem?
