Amber is hilarious...and Eric did an awesome job to not lose it.
Will Amber the dinosaur deliver the timing belt kit?
Hi and thanks Eric and Co. for making the video! Is there a how to on this as well? Also what is the seal that leaks on the top back of engine that I have heard about? Some little O-ring. Crank shaft sensor? I forget but have heard that can be a source of leaks. I've got a small leak and can smell it on the header or muffler sometimes and there's a small spot on the garage floor as well. I'd like to start doing all the preventative items on my 66k mile 97 NA. I have no service history of it. It would be great to see a video check list of all the items to do when buying an NA of un known service history. I need to do all the fluids, belts, etc.. but am at a loss at where to begin. I did the engine oil and filter and tires and battery and it runs great but would like to start checking items off a list. Thanks!
We will probably be doing a video on this soon. The valve cover gaskets and crank sensor on the NA Miata are very common places for slow oil leaks. Both are fairly easy to replace. Check all your belts for cracks and damage while you have your valve cover off. If the car is running good, without any smoke or odd smells, you probably don't have much to worry about immediately. Since you've already done the oil, I'd check the plugs and wires. The color and condition of plugs can tell you a lot about a car. Flushing the radiator and brake fluids, if needed, are always a good idea. I'd also be tempted to do the gear oil in the transmission and the diff as well. Those are a good start for basic items. Feel free to give us a call or drop us an email if you find you need more details! 970-464-5600 or tech@flyinmiata.com
@@FlyinMiataVideo Great that's exactly the answer I needed for now! Car runs like a champ, no oil consumption even on multi day road trip two up loaded. Little valve tap if sitting for months then started from all the oil draining down I guess but then doesn't do it if driven every few weeks or more. I'd like to tackle those projects you mentioned and would love to see videos on this. Nothing urgent at this point I guess as the car is running fine but things to whittle away at. Car is not a DD just occasional weekends. Love it. Thanks again.
I came here for knowledge on how to use your product and all I got was just an unboxing video!? I'm trying to figure out how to use the crank bolt tool please make a step by step video on how to use your product
Sorry you didn't get what you wanted out of the video. This was an upload of one of our short Facebook live videos, so we tried to keep it brief. We are doing actual instructional videos as we can. If you have specific questions, give us a call! One of our techs will happily talk you through the process 970-464-5600, or email tech@flyinmiata.com.
So do you just hammer on the seal installer with a mallet or do you thread in the cam shaft bolt to gradually push it in?
We prefer the term "tap with a hammer" :) You can go either way. Using the bolt makes it easier to ensure everything stays straight.
Hammering anything on those seals is a recipe for having them fold back on you and leak (not that I’ve ever experienced that).. I threaded the bolt and gently pressed each seal into place with the FM tool.
I would really like to get ahold of that NB shirt with the red NB (like mine)! Any chance you all still have that available anywhere?
Unfortunately, we don't have any extras. That was one of our monthly limited edition shirt offerings. We do a new design every month, so keep an eye out on social media. I'm sure we will do another NB shirt sometime this year!
Way after the video was published but here is my question nonetheless: When changing the timing belt on a 1990 NA with a short nose crank should the cam sprocket and key be Loctited in place. Should I use a new bolt or a new key? I've ran across a lot of conflicting information on the web... just got the car. 46,000 original miles. very well maintained according to Carfax but no record of a timing belt service yet.
Thanks!
John
We will be releasing a step by step video in the future, but in the meantime, give our customer support team a call or email. They'll be more than happy to answer your questions and give you some pointers on that timing belt job.
I cannot wait for this video! Just bought an ‘03 with 57,000 miles. It’s only had oil changes, and still has the original tires.
