Well if it`s the valves ticking a little, thats good. At least you know their not too tight. I remember when my friends played a joke on me. I had a 1971 ford Maverick, and it had the outside hood release. They got this bright idea to turn my ignition timing way back for a laugh. Well that joke cost me an exhaust valve, and when my Grandfather and I re shimmed all the valves (on the old Ford Straight six, they used shims) It had some slight valve taps. But ran better than it ever did before. He said they were too tight before we shimmed them. And if you tried to quiet down the old Chrysler slant six, they ran horrible as well. Noisy motor, but they ran forever.

...my experience with this brand of vehicle..is ok....i guess i have the crappy out of shape apple if you will...I would thought a brand name such as this would not have issue like this at all....some what dissappointed with this vehicle purchase...will i buy another lexus? no not really... "pursuit of perfection" just went out the door for me...my car anyway... I'll try to stay with brand new vehicle purchase from now on....just beware if you are buying pre-own vehicle...even if it's dealer certified! The technician they tried..i'll give them kuddos for that...but i'm still dissapointed with this purchase! dear lexus, can i refund?? Lol

I wish I knew exactly what noise you are referring too? What oil are you using? Mine was the absolute quietest on the Mobil-1 5W30 High Millage. Or the Castrol GTX, Pennzoil yellow bottle.
