i have 8000 miles on my scion... and i have a lil lifter noise not much but noticable... is this common in all toyota/scions or is it somethin with my car... the oil was changed and problem is not gone...

i guess no one has the same problem or no one just cares

You could try doing a search or maybe posting this question in the Maintenance & Problems Forum... Hope it helps and good luck.

to tell you the truth i think it is normal toyota tickin... my celica gt did it that was an 85 with a 22 RE i seen new tundras do it... the only thing that is gettin me is the motor thats in the scions is the same as the ones in the echos and i never hear any noise from them
