Newbie needs help
Could someone help a newcomer to the world of automotive repair? I have a 1990 MX-6 and want to get it up and running. People have told me that the "lifters are shot". The car runs but it blows a lot of smoke. It starts well at all times but has no compression anymore when I drive it. It is a standard transmission with a great CA body so I would like to save it after having now for 10 years but don't want to spend the cash to have a shop do it. I have the tools and now just need the schematics to get me started and any other instructions/info that someone in this forum could provide me. I appreciate any help.
Thank you, Cheeto

Re: Newbie needs help
Try changing the PCV valve if you havnt already.. friend of mine was puffing smoke until he changed that.. much cheaper than starting to undo cams n stuff, itll only cost a couple bucks
To change the HLA's you need to remove the Intake Manifold, Valve covers, and cams... for the cams remove the bolts holding the cams 1/4 turn each at a time, one at a time, to not break your cam in half. Lifters, or HLA's are very expensive to replace them all... at 20$-25$ a pop and 24 of them on the car... you do the math :S Make sure it isnt something else before you decide to drop 500$+ on HLA's.
