i thought it might be them, but its very loud and the injectors make a soft ticking noise. Then i thought if it is the injectors playing up wouldnt i get a waning massage?

Kevin, there ain't NO way you're gonna set the "Tappets" like on an OHV engine.
It requires specialised shims (available from Toyota), and ISN'T a 5 minute job

Well there goes that idea huh
ok what do you guys think i should do?
is it ok to drive?
so do you have to replace shimes?
my dads mate is a mechanic and he will be doing this (thats if we are gonna fix it)
the ticking noise is giving me the sh!ts so any advice would be much appreciated.

Easy, Baggs. No need to scare the poor guy. As Baggs said the shims are available from toyota.
You have to pull the rocker cover off, then measure the clearances, then order the shims you need.

Beyond that, I don't know that much about the 1J but you either need to lift the camshafts or use some special tools to change the shims.

The tapping shouldn't hurt the engine, it's just a little annoying. Most easily rectified by use of the fitted radio volume knob. :-)

Any mechanic with knowledge of dual overhead cam (DOHC) engines should be able to nut it out, But

Apoligies for diggin an ol one.

But my tt recently picked up this very annoying habit...drives me off the wall. Absolutely positive its not the injectors as it is a soft ticking noise...

The tappets are very noticeable and when under throttle, it can be annoying. Especially when decelerating.

Any idea how much this exercise will cost including parts?

Are we also positive that there will nothing detrimental to engine life?

cheers

No; something must be wrong. I am willing to have a look if you are in Melbourne and you drive past St Kilda Rd any time business hours.

I have done many tappets before on many cars ( all but the Soarer :-) ).

You can also listen to mine, I do have some injector clicking noise but no tappets.

Shyam lives in Auckland ("Dorkland") New Zealand, so that could be a tad tricky Marius

Thanks for the offer Marius but it would be a considerable effort to get over there, would have loved to if I could

Shyam, it could be as simple as a loose spark plug mate. Happend to a mates soarer, one of the sparkies went lose and with the compression the plug was moving up and down causing it to tick.
