Toyota filter and normal oil changes. If it's already ticking, the damage has been done.

 

whats a vtc? and ticking?

 

You don't have them so no worries for you

 

My 92SE has been having the problem for a while, like over a year. The mechanic I saw told me I shouldn't drive it anymore (and then offered to trade me a Sentra with 200,000 miles).

So what is the bottom line? Am I slowly (or quickly) driving my car to death? Is there anything I can do about it? Is there more to worry about than just a loud noise?

Thanks!
