Looking for suggestion. My top only has damage/fad on a small section front to back on passenger side. Do you think just that section could be repaired like you did or would the whole top have to be done to match? Thanks!
@TomlinPerformanceАй бұрын
@@cruzans definitely best to do the whole top! If only one spot has fade that’s the only spot that needs heavy sanding. Get rid of the fade, and then do the final sanding lightly and polish the whole thing to be uniform

No..... you havent thought about it.... the lifters are "Hydraulic" Lifters.... which means your MX5 needs Hydraulic Oil, usually its thicker than normal oil....

Great video my man, very good information. i really like that you include the relevant pictures from the service guide. I do have 2 things that i would have liked to see. 1. its always a good idea to hand turn your motor 2 full revolutions and seeing if its still on the marks after doing anything that could affect timing. this will allow you to see if you've made a mistake before turning the key, and can save you a lot of time and money if you work on motors a lot. 2. Wear them damn gloves! i've only been a mechanic for about 5 years now and i need to use a steroid cream on my hands cuz i sometimes didn't wear rubber gloves when working on oily parts.
@TomlinPerformance3 ай бұрын
@@bjarkio5951 thanks! I intentionally didn’t cover timing thoroughly. It deserves its own video, and forces uneducated people to go watch another video to understand that topic before doing this, and keeps the video short enough that the people who do already understand it don’t skim through and potentially miss other important steps. (Well, that was the goal) And as I’ve aged I’ve improved with my ppe useage, that’s definitely a good tip!

So you put in a new tranny? Or put more tranny fluid? Asking because my z has weird issue where it grinds in second and 3rd sometimes 4th (just bought it recently) and been told it could be the shifter but I think it’s the tranny but it’s fine if I shift slow. If it’s the tranny I have a shop that does vqs but just wanna have different perspectives

A few things that I would like to say that he left out that gave me some trouble You need to take off the alternator belt. You do this by loosening a bolt on the upper-passenger side-rear part of the alternator (12mm) I washed the lifters in gasoline. This worked in literal seconds and there isn’t a need to wash before puttting them back so there’s not a risk of water getting in
