I own a 2000 4X2 Hilux (LN145 - 2.4D) and recently heard a knock coming from about the 3rd cylinder. Took off the cam cover and can see nothing to generate this sound - which comes in at about 4000 RPM or so.

I see that this engine uses hydraulic lifters and was wondering if anybody out there experienced this problem in particular. Oil level is good and the van isn't driven recklessly so I don't believe it to be piston or crank or connecting rod noise. It sounds like it is coming from the head itself.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated here!

It's doing 233K - a real work horse! If I pull the head and see anything wrong there, I will contact you for it. Is it complete? If not, do you have lifters?

Thanks in advance!

If you need a 2nd mechanical opinion call 684-4883 and let him have a look at it ... these engines are a lot more durable than 233 000km.
