ok, so the 7afe head uses a different style of rocker arms, right? my head has a real bad tick when i shift a certain way, when i hold the gas half throttle, or when im accelerating over 4500 rpm. anyone ever had similar problems?

first off overhead cam engines do not have rocker arms. check your timing mine did the same thing and it was due to the timing being off a bit. If you don't know how to do it just take it to the shop 'cause you gotta bypass something or the computer will just compensate for whatever changes you make.

the noise has stayed at a consistant volume, and i havent lost any power gradually. i dont think its detonation because when i take out the spark plug on a cylinder, it still makes the same noise in the same pattern, increasing tick as RPM increases. thanks for the feedback, and when i meant rocker, i meant in general that part of the motor.

well i thought it could be a rod bearing or rod knock, but my motor would have gone out by now.
Sounds like it's rod knock or your bearings to me too.
it's while you're giving it pedal right? And then, will it stop after a certain RPM level? and it won't do it Under a certain level?
If so, my car was doing the samething. I needed a new timing belt. It's fixed now, and is great.

yeah, exactly! how much did you get the belt for?
the belt itself is cheap, but I had it installed. It's a real pain to get to, I would advise taking it to toyota or a local shop.
