Best Answer

When you get the new starter bolted on, pry the starter drive out to mesh with the ring gear. There should be some backlash between the teeth. If it's too tight, remove the outer bolt and loosen the inner bolt, and put a shim in. Reinstall the bolts and check for backlash again. Usually one shim is enough, but sometimes you need two.

It depends on the type of system you have. 1 pipe in, or 1 pipe in and 1 pipe out. Single pipe in/out, try replacing the relief valve or simply shimming the end of the radiator opposite where the pipe comes in. This lets water bleed out of the radiator and stops the klanging.

If it's not something you have done before and you are concerned about how it will look and function, have an experienced carpenter install it for you.

However, great strides have been made with the installation process. There is a product called EZ-HANG that really simplifies the process and eliminates the cumbersome shimming of the pre hung door. They have an installation video on their website.

Does a 95 MPV V6 have hydraulic or solid lifters?

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.
