I agree w/ emvitil on the tensioner, 11k...the engine should be broken in already. Have you thought about running 10w30 full synthetic?
First I would try an OEM Toyota oil filter to see if the start up noise goes away, if it does then that's your problem. Non OEM filters will drain back and you'll get a rattle at start up until the pressure comes up. If it still makes noise then it is the tensioner. Don't try heavier oils this could cause pump failure making for even more problems. Toyota designed the pump for the recommeded oil viscosity, a higher viscosity will make it have to work harder to push the oil through. Plus a 5w will circulate quicker than a 10w.
I make more money that you, my wife is hotter than yours, my thingy is bigger than yours
use napa spin flow gold filter theyre awsome
what rod bearings are you running? I had a set of ENGN BLDRs bearings which ended up being TDC which is Chinese and I only got 3000 miles out of them before they literally CRUMBLED.... Pissed me off. And yes I had my crank polished, mic'd it, plastigauged it, the whole nine yards. I will only run Clevite now. I had the same issue as you but I run the steel backed guides so I pulled the pan and rolled in all new bearings. Chains dont knock, but rods sure do!
what oil filter are you running? If the oil pump "O" ring is not installed correctly it may leak pressure out of that.
Is there any way a 22re oil pump could be installed in a way that would compromise flow during normal operation? Just seems like the oil pressure takes too much time to build when the engine is hot like it's escaping. Keep taking my turtle points too, I want minus 1000 .
