so the mazda has started tickin pretty bad and im worried that now at 240k miles its probably time for some in depth motor work... rebuild/machine on the head, have the valves gone thru and checked/adjusted, maybe some bearings in the bottom end and some new rings... i want to be able to take my time and do it right... which means parking it for some undetermined amount of time... i dont want to have to do overnight rush jobs just so i can be able to drive again the next day... so earlier today (well it was today when today was still monday the 29th...) i found a 1996 VW jetta trek edition, 5sp for 850 on craigslist. i offered 700 cash for it and they accepted. its got a broken mount in the front of the motor that when it broke it went thru the part that feeds the oil cooler that the oil filter screws onto... so those are the two major things that are wrong with it at the moment... i will be towing it home, or fixing it where it sits and driving it home on tuesday (later today, after i get some sleep...). will have pictures up later.
