Brought it in, It was a cracked plug. they did my rt side cam phazers under warantee at the same time and replaced the plug. I was out the door for a mear $100. Now another 3 k miles later, more ticking, more less than satisfactory performance . The cause . A plug that has worked loose. My point is . If it aint broke dont fix it. Ive got more problems , from trying to prevent a problem. In hindsight I probally woulldnt change them , unless I was experiencing a problem already.

your spark plug had come loose? on a 3v engine? the tech did something wrong then. $100? one side cam phaser is about 750 alone, you sure it wasnt $1000? |
