Car has mechanical tappet with a clearance so you will ALWAYS have valve noise. Car also has loud injetors - my wifes camry 2azfe was brought in for valve adjustment and it was just noisy injector. Let valvetrain wear in, its ALWAYS better noisy than tight. Just a note: cars will tend to stick valves during break in and you will get some noise until it clears. Please Leave the break in oil in for at least 2500mi - this oil has extra wear agents that your replacement oil will not have. It is great oil and should NOT be changed soon by worry wort. We have a inexpensive solid tappet cam and it need proper wear in. Your special break in filter will trap most all nasty wear items. Break -in runs about 15K miles if you look at UOA then wear tapers off to nothing. Dont worry this is not Kia or Mazda engine - it is quality motor with low oil consumption.:smile:

how many miles on it? Did you change oil yet? Dont beat it for 800 miles.

the first oil change was actually done at 4998 miles, that's when the service light came on. (that's what the seller told me)

however, i bought it with 5000 miles.

i've driven only 100+ miles with it since

Wow, there are like 3-4 threads on this. Please search and you will find that it is perfectly normal for this (and many other) Toyota engines.

in my opinion the plastic intake manifold is the main reason for hearing the noises of the otto cycle at work, if it was a solid cast piece it would be a much quieter engine.

Hey, Plastic is Fantastic. less heat soak, smooth and dimensionally accurate runner cross section. This is an all AL motor - they are a bit noisier. The change to MOTUL 8100 eco-nergy AECA A5 made ALL the difference in the world. You will stop worrying about oil after using this stuff ( in the vinter). It is very superior on the road.
