That's the problem .. all the mechanics and shop I've asked said there's no adjustments on 4afe's .. unlike the 2e engines that can be adjusted according to specs via shim ...

you sure? 2E valve clearance can be adjusted by turning the adjuster then tightening the locknut. i'm not sure about 4afe but if it's shim based then you have to find someone who knows how to change to the correct thickness shim

Agree with this one. If its shim based, there is a thickness chart for the valve clearnace adjustment and usually done when the engine is cold. Casa and some autoshops have this. If your old shims are out of adjustment, its time to buy new shims..

Since the abnormal noise started when the oil was changed,go with the last thing done. Stay away from the thought of changing the valve lifter shims. Believe me it's not fun specially shims are hard to find. On newer Toyotas it's even harder since you have to change the whole bucket valve lifter or cam follower.
