1urfe ticking?

[proveitwithdata]

im interested in a 2010 tundra pickup withe 4.6 1urfe with 59k on the clock. PPI will be done in a couple of days. Everything seems ok, owner did annual changes with m1 0w40 with toyota filters. Upon startup, i hear a ticking noise from the engine bay, that gradually lessens as it warms up.

Is this normal?

Btw this is essentially the same engine as whats in the gx460. Its port injected.

This isnt the secondary air valve system as thats more a whooshing noise.

TCCN explains the ticking noise from a faulty chain tensioner. The engine shown is a 3UR-FE 5.7L but it's the same architecture.
