22-re louder than normal?

I just recently installed this rebuilt engine, I have put about 400 miles on it so far. However I am starting to think they didn't plastigage anything and just replaced all the bearing with a standard set. Or maybe I'm just being really picky about the noises. I know with solid lifters you will hear a bit of noise and the fuel injectors pulsing, also I know I have a small exhaust leak off the header, but it just seems too noisy for a rebuilt engine. :) I will post another video soon of a quick walk around in which I describe most of the things I have done to the truck.

i just rebuild my 4runner and i had to do the valves 2 times before it was perfect the lifters r just a little loose but its fine to drive

ps thats a bad ass intake and valve cover never seen one before

Thanks :) I spent many hours hand polishing parts. Valves sound much better now after an adjustment, but I found an exaust leak off the header contributing to the noise.

where did u get the polished intake and valve cover from.

[HobbesR6]

I spent a LOT of time polishing :)

Nice job polishing! It's an illness that I also contracted while working on a DSM, and everything I couldn't polish, I powder coated.

I used to love my Toyota X-tra cab enough to do that. I'd like to get another one someday and put a 4g63 turbo in it. 330,000 miles on a 22R was great, but now that I've experienced boost and 300+ lbs of torque, I just can't go back.

The rumbling sound right after revving is your PAIR valve resonator chamber.
