I have valve tick, is it shims or guides ?

Hurry up and get that oil change done. NEVER add Marvel's Mystery Oil, at the most, you could add Lucas. I'd suggest doing another oil change with either a 5 or 0W-30 motor oil, and adding abit of Bitron (look up tekdeus on here).

Id love to get bitron and try it but u have to order it dont u? Has anyone actually tried it yet with results?

Marvel is mainly a 5W light oil with a little naphtha, some phosphorus, and a dash of wintergreen for the smell. Bitron is 100% snake oil. The guy who sells it here didn't even know Supras don't have oil warning lights and he owns one. Lucas? Look here: http://tinyurl.com/2y7fj

Don't fall for additive marketing BS and don't put anything in your crankcase but good oil that huge companies with millions of dollars in R&D and PHD chemists worked years to develop and constantly improve. If any of that crap worked don't you think they'd already be using it? Or the automakers would?

I know you're in a hurry to get your car going but you'd better take your time to check it out. Every Supra I've ever looked at wasn't running right even though the owner thought it was fine.

No its got some hickups right now, but I dont think they are anything major that make it another engine rebuild at this point. Im hoping not anyways, thanks guys, Its been turned on and driven 6 times now, without any problems.

IF you decide to add a little bit of additive, give some Bitron a try.

I just bought my first MK3 this year and I've never run low on oil so I didn't know they didn't have a "low oil" light. Bi-Tron has in fact solved valve ticking problems for more than one Supra owner, see this page:

I cannot "fake" massive positive forum and eBay feedback.

I'm not promising that it will always solve valve tick issues, but apperently it does sometimes, perhaps by freeing sticky lifters. You are correct about 90%+ of the additives out there donny, but there is another thread to debate about that
