engine "takatak-katak" sounds while running

[eagle]

Mazda 323 sedan 93; Paghirap yon makina tumutunog ng "takatak-katak" parang ganun, lala pagpinilit ko apakn yon gas pedal. Pagtumakbo sa highway minsan myron parin tunog. Patulong naman pano ang gagawin dito. tnx.

sir, parang typewriter pag tumunog...

ganyan din sa akin lalo na kapag pa-akyat yung kalye.... pero sandali lang. nawawala agad.

may solution ba iyo? or ganito talaga mag old n kotse. Na-adjust ko na distributor advance and downgrade. Pag-downgrade mo naman wala sa timing mamatayan ng makina. So I turn it back to the original setting.

mas maganda siguro kung pa-tune up mo na lang bro para wala ka nang alalahanin.

sa distributor ang ingay na yan. ganyan din sa akin. yung takatak sa mismong harapan ng driver side galing. kung luma na yung distributor cap nyo its time to change it. isama na nyo palitan ang contact point at condenser.

on the other hand is that a DOHC engine? some 323's have SOHC B6 and others have DOHC. the 323 DOHC B6 engine has hydraulic lash adjusters (a.k.a. lifters) and the typewriter sound is very common. it's only cosmetic (doesn't cause damage or reduce engine performance) but can be annoying.
