Pretty low res camerphone pics for right now. I work in Port Townsend during the weekend so I plan to take it to a couple places and shoot pictures. If anyone wants some high res nicely composed images of their Z that lives around (yeah I know not too many Z owner in W. Washington) I'd do it for nothing (maybe the cost of gas if you're far-ish away)

Don't worry about the lifter tick too much. It's pretty common. As long as it seems to be ruuning well with no noticeable missfire, all is well. You could try using some Marvel Mystery Oil, or other additive/cleaner of your choice, a short time before your next oil change. It is proven to reduce or eliminate the lifter tick. Also, instead of lifter tick, the noise could be the injectors clicking. Mine are pretty noisy.

BTW: if you don't know when the T-belt was last changed, do the 120k mile maintenance ASAP.

Thank you, the phone is actually the girl's RAZR so go figure (unless you were being sarcastic and my chemistry addled brain missed it). Without having to worry too much about the lifter tick, we're going to pay someone to do that 120k Maint.

@ Entropy
Are there any decent shops in WA that you know of?

I actually had no idea there was a clothing company named ezra lol. Thats kinda cool. And unfortunately my parents didnt name me after the car, they named me after some chick in a movie that has a kid and then dies. Gee, thanks mom and dad
