What things have gone wrong with the car?

-blew head gasket at 100,000 kms.

-replaced hydraulic Valve lash adjusters at 207,000 Kms.

-independent mechanic wrecked my carb. now I need a new one.

-bench seats are uncomfortable on long drives.

General comments?

replaced the Hydraulic Valve lash adjusters today (207,000 KMS) still get a fluttery ticking noise. (cylinder head is brand new....), i change my oil around every 2500 - 3000 KMs and use a genuine mazda oil filter. Any comments on why there still is ticky fluttery valve train noise would be helpful....

The only thing that I have found that stops the ticking in my 1988 B2200 is higher viscosity oil. I use 20-50 and it seems to help. I’ve been doing this for years and have not had trouble with the engine yet.
