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. :cry:

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.
