Mazda Miata Valve Lash Adjustment How-To

Ever wondered how to get your 01-05 running in tip top shape? This is quite possibly the most critical step that gets constantly overlooked. If you have a 90-97 Miata, you don't need to do this, but the 99-05 owners, this is something to keep in mind! Not to mention it's not that difficult.
Big thank you to Greg Peters from The Car Passion Channel for some of the resources used in this video, he also has an awesome how-to that may answer some questions that I don't. I'll link the video and his website here:

You can also get them from Bofi Racing, and they carry custom sizes in case you can't find what you need from an OEM distributor.

Can't wait for your Shim Under Bucket video. When are you posting? 😅🍻🍻

[@NappMotorsports]

Waiting for a head to be finished so I can grab a video. The one I recorded wasn’t great.

I got a quick Mazda related question. I plan on building a 1st or 2nd gen Mazda Miata into a circle dirt track car. The main rules for it is that it has to be naturally aspirated, no VVT and it has to stay under the Mazda brand. What motor would work best for my regulations? The competition is dominated by K series powered Civics and I need something that would be able to make the same kind of power output that they are reaching. If it has VVT the timing has to be locked.

[@NappMotorsports]

99-00 but it’ll struggle to keep up with a K series.

[@fifiandmax]

What lifter type does the ND2 have? Shum over bucket ? Hydraulic?

[@NappMotorsports]

Not sure. I haven’t looked into those engines.

[@Atrocities85]

👀 fix my 99 🤣

[@NappMotorsports]

Bring it on over.
