- ticking noise
- Posted by chris
I have an 06 Tundra and it has a ticking noise coming from the left
side of engine, its the V-6, kind of sounds like a valve tapping, is
this a normal sound. The truck has 80 miles on it

How loud is it? some noise is normal, could be a valve (not a piston valve
but a pneumatic one). Does it vary with revs?

I had that on my 3VZE and it turned out to be an exhaust valve of some sort.
Cost $70 to fix, the part was $18 but to find cost and hours labour. :o(

My son has the same 4.0 V-6 in his 06 Tacoma. It has had a slight ticking
from new. It has 10,000 miles on it now and sounds the same. The dealer
says its normal and we have to agree.

Same 4L V6 is in my '03 4Rnr and I have it too from day 1. It appears to be
think walled exhaust headers --- vice the old heavy cast iron one.

Dunno, can't hear it through the 'puter. My 2005 Tundra with the V-6 has
over 36,000 miles on it and doesn't make any ticking noise except when I
pick up another nail in a tire.
