I need some help with a Miata

[EmminoDaGreat]

sounds like the timing may be off a tooth if you have to rock the cas. I know you say its perfect but triple check.

The chatter is from the lifters/pickups from what I've hear its no big deal,sea foam,or an oil change so take care of it.mine does it everyday when I start it then goes away after a second or two,it no longer bothers me

It's not your average chatter. You know how a Dodge Cummins sounds when you turn it off? Hard vibration and a lound ch-ch-ch-ch... it's like that, but the entire time the engine is running. The oil is brand new. Literally 0 miles on it. The engine ran for over 30 minutes this way.

If I have to turn the CAS towards the passenger side of the car, which gear should I move in which direction? I've triple checked it twice now lol

Thanks for the help, guys. I really hope to get this thing running soon.
