Hi everyone,

My name is Josh, I am from Atlanta, GA. I bought my 2002 Sazuka Blue S back last September and I am enjoying every minute of driving this car. I have been rolling with the Atlanta crew for about 6 months and decided to hit-up the international crew. So whats up yall.

Thanks, I love the color too. I just got to get some problems that were caused by previous owner out of the way (some harsh ticking from up under the hood) and then I can start enjoying it even more. I cant wait to start making it the way I want it.
THANKS FOR THE HEARTY WELCOME YALL

Uh oh... Harsh ticking sounds bad, Josh... That symptom has been reported before as a possible precursor to engine damage.

Immediately, you need to get the coil cover off and pull each of your spark plugs and look for disintegration damage. This could be due to plugs backing off. You should get a new set of plugs, and replace them (at 18lb-ft of torque), just to be safe, while you're at it.

Also, check your oil level.

I hate to alarm you, but that's unsettling, and I'd hate to see you facing a short block replacement!

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the advice, I have checked it may be just the timing chain tensioner goin bad, but I have no way to check it. But just incase I have plulled the whole valve cover off and have started a prelim. valvetrain inspection. I hope that it is not what I am thinkin that it is, and I can get this fixed.
