  • After 5 years and 1/3 million views, I decided to give one of my most popular videos a 2020 makeover. Now with even more parts! If you're just starting to get familiar with changing parts on your Miata, I'm here to tell you that you're capable of FAR more than you think you are. It is intimidating at first, but if you just start slow and have some friends help, you'll go from replacing plugs to bolting on a turbo in no time. Cheers and thanks for watching!

    I bought my NA about 8 months ago. I had no idea on how to work on cars. Not even an oil change.
    There was an oil leak by the CAS. Followed one of your videos and changed the o-ring. Unfortunately my dumbass had a harder time putting it back in and messed up timing. So now I had to set timing. Not a big deal, ordered a timing light from Amazon and again watched one of your videos on how to do it and decided to do it in an evening. Got my timing light, jumped the car into diagnostic mode, got everything set up, all good right? NO! There were no reference points/marks to align the timing marks.
    I thought, well there's no possible way that they just disappear right? Wellll, the previous owner replaced timing belt, water pump and all that good stuff and for some reason he thought that not putting back the lower timing covers is a good idea. It was sitting in a bag that I got with the car. So, my car is out of timing. No way to time it. Didn't have money to take it to a mechanic, no friends, and no garage. Not even tools.
    Decided to tackle this somehow by myself. I've already watched your "party miatas" videos countless times even before I bought the car. Watched it several times more, went and bought a 50 piece tool box from Harbor Freight and took stuff apart piece by piece in the apartment driveway. I may have looked like a total clown, but damn it felt good after I put my timing covers back, set proper timing after working on it for 2 days. The only help I had was your videos.
    Since then, I've been fixing my own cars, parents and didn't have to pay for a mechanic since then. I have tools, I have youtube. That introduction and the instructions I had just motivated me even more. Since then, I've done countless jobs that would have costed several hundred dollars.
    Thank you so much Greg. You don't even know the amount of respect I have for you putting out videos like this.

  • @xXEvangelXx
    @xXEvangelXx Před 2 lety +19

    At 20:00, it's important to mention that there is another mark to the left of the TDC mark that is the tension mark. 1 5/6 turns is stopping at EXACTLY that mark after ONE full rotation. Tighten the tensioner bolt to lock the tension, then do 2 1/6 turns (ending at TDC) and everything should line up back up again provided the timing was set properly.
    Also make sure your car is in neutral while doing this lol

      As far as I know this is not needed on the Miata because unlike some cars it does not have any valve that shuts off the flow of water to the heater core, it's always flowing. I know on my Z32 it did have that valve though, so every car is different.

    This winter I have my 99 up on stands for a suspension refresh (superpro bushings, koni str.t's, por 15 paint on the control arms, new sway bar end links). And I also have to weld in repair panels into the rusted front frame rails and have to remove the radiator to do this. So of course now is the best time to upgrade the factory radiator and hoses. So of course this also seems like the best time to replace the timing belt along with all the other parts you replaced on your car. I was unsure about tackling this on my own but watching you I think has given me the confidence to do the job. Thank you for such comprehensive guide. Cheers

    Whenever I have to take the crank bolt off I use a breaker bar against the frame or ground with 0 slack and touch the starter. Used that method for several cars. Its like a built in impact driver.
