hey there

guess what, mazda have found the VICS problem in my 99 1.8L! so my tap tap noise is not the valvetrain, its loose VICS screws. Apparently i havent lost any yet but they are on the way. My dealer submitted a technical report to Mazda about the prob because they have never heard it afflicting a 1.8 before and i am waiting to hear back as to what they will do about it.

So basically, if u have weird rattle noises from the manifold/injector area in any 1.8 or 2.0L BJ Astina, get it checked out! year model/manufacture date doesnt seem to count anymore
