ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING - ENGINE
03/16/1998401/01/1996
 I have repeatedly reported the loud ticking noise which the lifters make only with a cold engine, however the dealer is patronizing, and the last call to schedule a replacement was met with an absolute refusal to to do anything. the service manager said that no matter how many times he replaced the lifters the noise would eventually reoccur. i have therefore a defective engine which should be corrected, but even mazda headquarters refused to do anything. i am dealing with the delaer in palmetto, florida which is not the dealer from whom i purchased the car. i feel that the rick case would correct this problem, however this not being the original dealer , could care less. my mechanic quoted me the price to replace these lifters which ran $800.00. i am appalled, and would like to know if this is a recall item. thanks. *ak
