Sorry not sure if this is a dumb question and has been asked before but is this normal VVTi noise?
Bought this 2007 recently with only 100k miles and its sounded the same since I purchased. I also did a PPI at the dealer and they made no comment.
The valve train is noisier on the drivers side. I’ve read about exhaust manifold leak but the sound is the same whether the engine is hot or cold.
My friend has a non-VVTi ‘98 LX470 and the valve train is way quieter in comparison. Maybe I’m just a bit paranoid - this is the most $ I’ve spent on a truck.
P.S. the noise is obviously a bit louder on video than in-person.
