The beginning of a great blues song if I ever heard one!

   "The goats been lickin' my Miata,
    the weather's too cold to drive,
    so I'm just dreaming 'bout better days,
    should be happy that I'm alive."

It's 23mm. I was unable to find a 23mm socket, but I did find a 23mm
flat wrench at Sears.

I had the same problem with State Farm on insuring my 1966 Corvette.
I insured it on what they called "stated value". I told them what I
wanted if it something happened to it, and they told me what I had
to pay to get that coverage.

On the subject of valve clatter, my 93 has done it only once. It was
a hot day and I had made a few runs autocrossing. That was with
Valvoline 10W30. I've since changed to RedLine 10W30. We'll see how
it behaves this summer.
