loud tikking in the head
no way u should have not one problem with that !
if u do then u just don't know how to drive..lol..j/k
your valves r tikkiing what kind of oil r u using? if you just using a regular oil thats why i use royal purple and i have no tikking at all! if u use a full synthetic oil you will have no tikking !
trust me there is no way that can happen i race all the time and my tc is an 05 with quit a bit of work done to it
but good luck!

IF you have a Cold air intake... or not... it could be that valve with the green plug near your MAF sensor, i think its normal. its all really depends how hard/much you push the throttle. the more the louder it gets, if i remember correctly its just to compensate for fuel comsumption...

valve tap, toyotas tend to have a really loud valvetrain, after i installed my header i noticed that my car starte to "tick" its normal and u tend to hear ir more when u push or atleast u think u hear it more its jus u worrying but it shouldnt be anything bad cause if it was a knock trust me ud hear it

a loud ticking... oh dear.. 
maybe it's just in your head? (someone had to say it)
you look under the hood to determine its location? the most likely culprit is the VSV which many people notice and seem to be really paranoid about.. (but it's okay and normal)

most likely its ur valves. if u hit ur redline alot and especially keep it there some valves may tend to get off spec. all you need is a valve adjustment, nothing to worry about. also consider using synthetic oil
u dont really need someone to look at it. when u listen to ur motor put ur ear near the each cylinder to determine which cylinder its coming from. then determine if its from the intake or exhaust cam. but valve adjustments should only done by those who know what theyre doing and the idea of TDC and all that good stuff
