The valve adjustment usually isnt done unless there is valve noise. If you think its valve noise, have the dealer check it or a shop that does a LOT of Toyota work. Special tools and shims are needed to adjust the valves. Its a LOT of work and will not be cheap. You will want to replace the spark plugs at the same time.

Testimonial: "thats good advice,will have shop check it out thank-you"

I have a 2004 Nissan pathfinder 3.5l SE with 109500 miles on the clock, and hear a ticking noise coming from the right valve cover does this model have a valve lash adjustment procedure.

The procedure is to check the gaps on all the valves then see how much they are out side the recommended gap
remove the camshafts and take the followers off the valve be careful to not lose the adjustment spacer from inside the follower you then measure the spacer to either go thicker or thinner to get the required gap do that with all followers that need adjustment refit camshafts and reset timing then remeasure the valve gaps

Can the tappets be adjusted on a Hyundia Tucson 4 x 4 V6 ,2.7 petrol engine?

Not normally, if they are noisy you can try a heavier oil in the engine.

A 10-40 vrs a 10-30 and change the oil at 5000k religiously.

or you add an oil additive to knock down the noise.

eventually you will have to replace the tappets.
you may want to pull the valve covers and verify all valve rockers are torqued correctly -- looseness hear can create noise.

2000 astro has intermittent clicking noise from engine compartment

The clicking noise emanates from the clicking of the
valves, and tappet hammers, under the valve cover.
If these are noisy, it means that it need to be adjusted
for the proper clearances and retightened. Have these
items checked to completely solve your problem. These
valves when properly adjusted will give your car good
mileage.

Chirping noise from engine compartment on 1993 Camry

Sounds like a drive belt. With the car off, rub each belt on the underside of the belt, one at a time, with wax from a candle or crayon.Cover the entire width of the belt and 10 to 12 inches of it's length then start the car. If it is the noisy belt it will change or eliminate the noise.Do this for each belt shutting off the engine each time.Change all the belts even if you find just one bad one as the others won't be far behind.

Thank you allowing me to provide my assistance.

Is the noise that you hear a loud "humming" nosie? If so, I need you to remove the lower panel, under the glove box, (if it has one), and remove the 3 screws that hoilds the heater fan to the plastic box. After removing the fan, inspect the fan and inside the box for debris. Most likely, you will find some type of debris contained in the fan blades. This is very common, I drop 2-3 fan motors a week around this time of year. You may also find a rodent nest in the fan area.
