arcticsilver Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 I just notices i have one valve that is tick tick tick when running... just one valve.... seems to be coming from the right hand bank as you look into the engine. Can you adjust the tappets or are they on shims? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPI Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 You will have to get the right shims. www.jpimportz.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 Can you adjust the tappets or are they on shims? Shims. But the first task is to measure the clearances. It's possible they are still all within factory specs and that no replacement shims are needed. Owners often mistake valve noise for other noises like a small exhaust manifold leak or fuel injector ticking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzz30 Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 yes thats true i checked clearence for mine about 6 months ago @120k miles all within specs. but if you do find wear well you need to measure how off it is and go and buy the right shim from lexus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
