Toyota Celica 190 2.0 VVTLi 2002 - Excessively noisy tappets - Fixed #

Posted by Mark Pilmer on March 15, 2012, 7:29 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2002
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: vvt 190 VVTLi 2000cc

We have a Celica 190 vvt that has excessivly noisey tappets, or sounds like it(nothings been stripped yet)it has had oil and filter changed with quality synthetic of the correct grade a 1000 miles ago. Have found that these engines do have lots of faults with chains and tappets, has anyone changed any and what are they like to do (would you do another!!!).
Thanks
Mark

Check oil pressure, this is an engine which is known to sludge up and block the pick up strainer.
