Strange clicking noise!
I get in my car the other day.... and there is a strange clicking noise coming from my engine?.. From a phone call i was told that it was probably the timing belt... but i have no clue. It's a constant click while idling and it gets faster as i accelerate . I hear if it is the timing belt then it can only be fixed professionally. They say it requires some expensive tools i don't have...

i know exactly what it is, could be one of 2 probs if u say its coming fromn the head.
1. your valves could be bent or out of line and are knocking (ticking)
2. if this clicking is somewhat loud, it is 99.9% sure that your lash adjusters are fucked which is a very common problem with mazdas. if this clicking goes away after a little while while driving off (anywhere from 5sec's to 1 minute)then it is for sure the lash adjusters.
good luck
