So with the help of some others.... the timing belt, water pump, cam seals, and crankshaft seal are done. The timing is also now at 14 degrees.
I haven't driven the Miata in like 3 weeks (neon D.D.), and after finally getting done with the maintenance, drove it yesterday after getting the timing right. It doesn't seem nearly as peppy as it did before from like 2,000 rpms - 4,000 rpms? Above that it pulls pretty hard I think. Almost like my powerband has changed? I thought the 14* was supposed to increase low end more--am I wrong?
I was just reading another post about a guy's mechanic doing the work and 1st feels like 3rd gear. It's not that bad! Just wondering now. I might have someone else drive it, maybe it's just me lol. #-o
