SRK Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 About the noisiest things on a running 1UZ-FE are the injectors. Put a mechanics stethoscope on one of them and you will probably find that the rate and distinct noise you hear are the injectors. I think the Toyota guy is probably correct.

silvermate Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 so the typical ticking some hear from underneath the hood is actually the injectors and not the valves???????? what did he reccomend for the fix? new injectors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmightyLexus97 Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 well i asked if the problem could be fixed and he told me that even if i put new injectors in that it would still make that sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermate Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 So is there any way to fix valve shims and stop the clicking? yes, you can get a valve adjustment.........its very pricey though, i believe its somewhere in the neighborhood of 25-30 dollars a shim.....
