Clicking Sound!

I know what you mean. I just can't figure it out..it's driving me crazy!

I've got the same issue.. as soon as I replaced the head gasket and started it up, it clicks, quieter when cold louder when warm. I've been doing all the checks and have guys who know checking it out.. all say different things, but main bearings gone has been the most suggested. I'm assuming that the previous owner is somewhat lying to me.. he claims the car blew the gasket 100 yards from his house and he parked it right away. I think he drove it till it knocked then parked it. I haven't taken off the oil pan yet but that's my next step. Anyone ever run into these issues before and find resolution? If I figure it out for sure I'll post it.. please do the same if someone else fixes it!! Thanks

My friend is suggesting that the valves are out of line. Me and him are going to take off the valve cover and align them to factory specs, and if that fixes it. Ill post. Thanks for support guys, this is a mystery haha

Problem has been found, exhaust leak near the turbo, and manifold!

Dude you are the man! I'm not intirely certain that's the cause for my clicking sound too. However yours is described exactly like mine, and I just found a major exhaust leak from my manifold. Two of my manifold studs are stripped out. I ordered the kit to repair it from Driftmotion and hopefully once complete my supra wont be clicking anymore.

By the way, it's not bad to drive it that way. It's not recommended but you could drive it until you sold it, or retired it. The boost isnt going to be as good as it was before, but it's driveable. I'm getting mine fixed soon as well.

Okay, guys it was an exhaust leak.. One of the studs in the exhaust manifold were flipped around with the nut facing the wrong way..so that the end that was supposed to go in the engine was facing outwards. The stud was not long enough so it was leaking. It's fixed. Thanks guys.
