Close... Hydraulic Lash Assembly

My understanding is the 1.6 has HLAs, and the 1.8 has a solid puck w/bucket

If it don't tick something is wrong with it...

However, listen to it and use common sense to determine if the tick is acceptable.

Word, thanks guys. Hope this works out. It's the third or fourth miata I've looked at.
