sounds like rod knock...... which is very bad!!! does it only do it at certain RPMs?
hows your oil level?? try added 1qt of trans fluid to the engine if you are a qt low.... it might help it might not if its just a slight tick and not rod knock

Yah, and trans fluid actually has shit in it for it to grab better (auto trans)
Sounds like you just need a valve adjustment.
I do too lol.

trans fluid is a detergent, it will help clean all the gunk and tarnish in your engine.....
only keep it in the engine for about 1500 miles though, so get some cheaper oil and 1qt of trans fluid and do a oil change, or if you are going to need a oil change soon, and are 1 qt low this would be the perfect time to drop it in..... it will not clog your pump...

its not that it helps everything grab better its that it gets rid of the tarnish and gunk that is impeeding the right parts from connecting with what they are suppose to
also, try going and getting some BG 44k(fuel additive) from like kaufmann tire or anywhere that carrys BG products, its amazing how it will clean out the carbon buildup in your engine and may help with your ticking also.....

Dont listen to Chris, he doesnt know what he's talking about!!
Now, if you rev your engine and the ticking gets stronger/louder its prolly rod knock. If its a light tick and high up, valve noise. Never hurts to have a clean engine, so about 1500 miles before your next oil change, add 1 qt of Dexron III Trans fluid to it to help clean stuff out.
Now, if you dont check your oil regularly enough, you have no buisness owning a MK III Supra, 1 qt low can ruin the engine. If you leave oil leaks, you have no buisness owning this car, if you are at all a cheapass, get rid of the car and buy a civic.
