It has hydraulic lifters that are known to get noisy. Mazda sells a shim set that can be installed under each lifter to reduce clearance so that the lifters don't require as much pump-up travel. The lifters are located in the ends of the rocker arms, replacing or shimming them requires the removal of part of the intake plenum. You can also buy new lifters in the aftermarket for about $20. each, but there is 12 so it's not exactly cheap.
The valves on a 1995 Jeep are not adjustable. The engine uses hydraulic lifters.
bad lifters will rattle when engine is running at idle you will hear anything from clicking in engine to rapid tapping,depending on how bad and how many lifters are bad if vehicle has hydraulic lifters check for proper oil level in cngine

No, 95 - 97 are self-adjusting, hydraulic lifters.
There is no adjustment for hydraulic valve lifters. Lifters can be noisy on some of these models. After ascertaining there is no mechanical damage/broken parts, change engine oil and add 1/2 bottle of STP Oil Treatment (or more if necessary) until lifters are quieter.
how do you ajust the lifters on a Chevy s 10. its making a taping noise
Hydraulic and the slave cylinder is in the bell housing.
What you are hearing is the hydraulic lifters before they come up in pressure and is normal for pretty much all Miatas. This page has good information on hydraulic lifters and how they work. http://www.miata.net/garage/hla/index.html As for hearing them during running it could be that you are low on oil. I have noticed this a few times at AutoX events after the car has burned off some oil. Check the oil level and make sure it is full.
You need to replace the two gas-hydraulic lifters - they wear out after a while, especially in cold weather. I just prop mine up with a piece of hockey stick - far cheaper!!!
This vehicle is equipped with hydraulic valve lifters that do not require adjustment. They are set at zero lash by tightening the rocker arm nuts to 14-20 ft. lbs. If you hear a little valvetrain noise coming from your 3.1L engine, this is normal.
it is a cable clutch.
simply just replace rear shocks with air shocks or put spring lifters on the springs
