Engine knock @ 1700-2300

Yea, I drive it every day. I always let the engine run for about 3 to 15 mins to make sure the oil gets to all parts of the engine, I think the "knock" came from using the wrong oil. The previous owner ran strait 40 weight in it and I know he was hard on it because he drifted it, so I can only imagine that the "knock" developed from those factors.

I stopped by a Toyota dealership today to see if they could get me the valve shim remover tools and no luck, they didn't have any for them selves to use and they couldn't get them. If it is the shim making the "knock" then I'm going to have to fabricate something to get it done.

Yea, I'll let you know what happens. I think I will take the valve cover off this weekend when I do the sparkplugs and wires. Good luck!
