V6 engine ticking longrun
What will the effects be if a v6 engine ticking is neglected a little longer then usual? Just curious cuz I know repair costs for an mx3 r quite steep.

Try a search under cam friction gear or better still "HLA". You'll find all you need to know about the MX's tick. Hey, why not try "tick" in your search parameters also. Don't forget to include the V6 performance forum in your search parameters. good luck,
