I don't have a Miata, and I've never built and engine before but as an avid DIY'er I really appreciated this video for your workmanship. I ended up listening to this entire video (in the background while I was working) because you really seem to know what you're doing and i like to have exposure to something that I've never done before. I really like the way you work and explain things. You're very detailed and thorough and make sure to explain why you do certain things instead of making the viewer assume certain things. Great video!
I have no plans to do this anytime soon, but it was very informative and cool to see how the miata engine is put together. Thanks for documenting it all!
In my younger years, I worked in a carpool as a motorist. repaired the engines of GAZ - 53 trucks. ZIL - 130.But I am delighted with your skill. I admire you.
I'm pretty sure with this video my wife could figure out how to rebuild a Miata engine. This is the kind of vid you pray for when searching out a rebuild guide for any engine
I doubt I'll ever do this sort of thing to my NB as I live in the UK and it's dark and pouring with rain and I'd be doing it outside BUT this is just how a 'how to' tutorial should be, no stupid music, no talking nonsense, just straight forward sensible information. Well done!
It took me about 3 total days to watch this video in my free time, but building a Miata engine for my 97 will be my next project, and I honestly feel a lot more comfortable attempting this now that I have seen this video. Thank you for all of the great information!
As a master tech/engine builder I always enjoy watching others building engines- I'm always reminded you can always learn. Good job. One small point of contention- cylinder head removal- ideally you're going to remove the bolts in the opposite order of installation. Same goes for camshaft removal. Camshaft removal/installation will vary from engine to engine but it often more of a 4/2/3/1/5 (bearing cap numbers) and done in several passes. You don't want large sections unsupported while bearing spring load. There's generally a near neutral position for each cam which will keep the least total valve lift across the camshaft, and in this case you'd do this with the pistons all at half travel.
Just stumbled on this video. 2 1/2 hours later this is the most comprehensive motor build video I have seen. Great video, Hell I'm ready to buy a Miata! Thanks for the video, again Great job!
Absolutely brilliant Stefan. Really informative - there was so much information but that's OK, it sort of felt like you telling story (and well filmed one-handed!). Thanks for spending so much time (and all that editing for YT rather than using IG) to deliver a real insight into re-building a 1.8. I liked the fact it was 2 and a half hours long- I could watch some and pick it up again later. Better than a whole series of shorter videos.
A trick I learned for removing and saving dowel pins, use a big circular punch that fits snug in them, then some vice grips on the dowl/punch combo and work em out.
Hello from Cayuga Island! I've been driving Toyota, Lexus, Honda even Nissan for 20 years now. I maintain them, keep a simple chart on each car & watch your videos too. Working out well do far, thanks for setting us straight.
Wow , watched in one go , my confidence thru the roof 🤣 . Thinking about tearing down my perfectly working vvt with 59k on the clock 🤣🤣 You deserve a medal bro Here 🥇🏆
Not sure if anyone else mentioned mentioned as there's 374 comments, but don't install the circlip gap where the notch in the piston is. That notch is there to pop the clip back out. The way you did it, it'll be a PITA to remove it. Best to place the circlip gap in the 6 o'clock position. That'll allow you to get a pick or small screwdriver behind the clip at that notch to pry it up out of the piston. Otherwise great job at showing this process! I watched it as it popped up on my feed and there's a lot of similarities to the design of these year engines and the same years of Saturn 1.9 DOHC engines. Only wish we had the support the Miata's had back then. That engine should be a ripper, rock on!
Dope video my dude. I'm a Honda guy myself but honestly, in terms of the internals, all these older 4 cylinders are pretty much the same for the most part. It's cool to see someone posting good in depth videos about engine rebuilding that goes thru every step and why you do it. I think everyone should possess knowledge like this and I'm never afraid to show people how to do things and sharing my tips and tricks from over the years. Nothing is worse than having to fix a broken engine from someone else's stupidity when they built it lol Edit: That circlip took is fuckin awesome!! Definitely need to get me one of those. Looks like a life saver
@@NappMotorsports exactly man I feel the same way. There's no better feeling in my opinion than passing my knowledge onto someone else. And like you stated in the beginning, there's no better way to learn how to do this stuff than to just do it. I learned a lot of what I know from doing exactly what you said. I had blown up one of my first Honda's I had and I just stripped the engine down and learned how everything worked and how things went back together
You did all this.... In one Weekend!? I thought it took place over a month or maybe two, but then at the end you said one weekend. Wow, your a master of your craft.
When removing anything that is done up in a sequance. Removal sequence should be the opposite of tightening. Meaning when undoing you should always go from the outside in!!! So at 19:00 it should be outside in. :)
Dude you’re a legend! Thank you so much for making this video, appreciate your time and effort, really great tutorial. I’ve always been driving European cars like BMWs, audis and mb but after watching some random videos about Miatas I really felt that I really want one, a car that would feel right and something that I could work on to learn. This video kinda gave me a feeling that it’s not a rocket science like I imagined before. Definitely buying and building one Miata for myself ( labour would probably be cheaper in my country but nothing feels as good as your own finished project ). Thanks so much again!
For over 20 years, I pretty much only owned Audis (and a few Volvos)… But had always been interested in Miatas. A couple years ago I finally gave in and bought a one-owner, low-mileage NA. Don’t get me wrong - living in the snow belt, if I had to rely on just one car for 12 months of the year, I’d be entirely satisfied driving around in a quattro-equipped Audi with either a manual transmission or a dual-clutch. But I’d be lying if I said the Audi could provide me any of the experiences and sensations that a Miata could. RWD, naturally-aspirated, light weight, manual transmission, a quick and simple droptop mechanism, and all of this for less than $5k = why did I wait so long to do this??!!? There are few driving experiences more thoroughly enjoyable than a Sunday morning drive in the springtime, top down, through the mountains and along some cliff-side curvaceous routes not far from where I live in the northeast. If you’re currently fence-sitting and can’t decide whether to explore the possibilities of life as an MX-5 owner… Life is too short to waste time trying to make simple decisions.. Especially when you know already know “The Answer.”
Thanks for the great video I will definitely be watching this a few more times before I build my miata. I appreciate all this so much because my miata will be my first motor build ever!!!!1
One of the best engine rebuild tutorials on RUclips!, I realise that you stated the machine shop, machined the valve seats, but is it still not a requirement to lap the valves? Genuine question ....I'm not a qualified engineer or mechanic, thanks 👍😊
Im just talking in general for other jobs not this 1 !! He did a great job showing what has to be done now for what iv Hurd before a person said you charge way to much money to do my motor yea well watch this video and see how much work and time goes into doing this to your motor some people think all your doing is putting all new gaskets in it !! It's alot to do and time is money great job filming and showing 👌 spot on great job 👍!!!
A quick way I learnt how to remove the valve retainers and keepers is to get a 14mm long socket, a piece of cloth or paper, and a rubber mallet. Put the piece of cloth in the socket, then place it over the retainer. Take the rubber mallet and give it a quick blow. The paper/cloth is used to catch the keepers when they fly out and prevent them from going through the hole in the socket.
found this one last night and had intentions of skipping around and referencing different parts, as my Miata engine is currently out and blown apart down to the long block, for a good cleaning and re-sealing. Ended up watching the whole video! Even though I'm not doing an actual rebuild, if I ever do I'll definitely be referring back to this video. Heck I might even refer to it for general engine rebuilding tips for any motor.
@@NappMotorsports found a vvt that’s been exposed to the elements without an intake, that’s fully accessorized for 200. Im gonna go get it. And get to work
It’s a rubber mallet lmao. If you think a valve can’t take a light tap from rubber, what do you think happens when they slam shut at 7000 rpm. But thanks for the view and the comment!
Instantly subscribed after seeing this (haven’t watched yet saving it for after work festivities) but knowing this is here is why I hit that red button ! Thank you!!!
I rarely comment, but I have to on this one. Man, good stuff! I’m not a Miata guy by any means. But you DO know how to explain, and show! If I were you, I’d get a proper adjustable tripod man and you are golden! Keep it up man !
A note on something you've missed. The cam caps need a THIN layer of sealant underneath them, as they are a metal on metal high pressure sealing surface. This is especially important on the bp-z3 motor. Every cam journal has a restricted oil pressure, other than intake journal #1, which supplies the vvt. Because the front journal of the intake cam receives full oil pressure, it is the most likely to leak from under the cam cap. This might lead someone that is unaware to replace the cam seal and valve cover gasket 3 times without fixing their mysterious leak... please don't ask how I know.
@NappMotorsports I hadn't heard of it either, but I was getting a mysterious and frustratingly persistent leak from that area. Popped the cam caps off and sure enough, there's oil(both wet and baked) under the sealing surface. Seems many people on the forums don't do it and have never had a problem, but some, like mine, leak. I'd say it's most likely due to imperfections in the surface, but it's hard to know. After talking to my machinist and some of my friends in the spec miata World, it seems a thin layer of silicone sealant is in order.
Thumbs up to you! Thanks for the time and effort you put into this working and also filming so that myself and other people can learn a thing or two. I have never worked on an engine before in depth like this but, I am very excited now to try after watching this video. I have a 2008 Nissan Altima manual transmission that I am going to put a turbo on. You definitely gave me a few ideas and I can't wait to apply what I have learnt here on my application. I must say your work is VERY clean and meticulous, much appreciated.
i watched the whole episode andd i love it it makes me want to work on cars again. unfortunatly i dont own a car so i fixed my moped instead with a bigger bore and different piston
She's a beute clark,lol.! Oh poverty wrist pin tool I used is a nut driver(1/4) adaptor-3/8 shallow socket,with gentle touch. I'll bet if you have an old wrist pin ,you could make one👍.thanks again brother👍👍
Nice video! Learning by doing is indeed the best way - I've done three timing belts and the confidence you have on the third time is worlds different than the first time. And I have a fourth to do if I ever stop procrastinating - ha!
Excellent video. I've done all this work before, but this video was super in depth and would've helped me when I previously built an engine. I really enjoy seeing the more knowledgeable/skilled passing along knowledge.
@@NappMotorsports Did I hear you say you were capping off the oil squirters? Just wondering why? I thought they were supposed to be a good thing, especially for an engine you plan on standing on?
jeeez.....this guy huh? obviously he said because its not needed with the forged pistons dum dum. im here watching this again becaause i really miss my escort GT and its the same engine. I dont miss blowing up transaxels though.
I will never build one because I'm not going to live much longer and I am still here at the end but I still took in a lot of knowledge and I will die a little smart thanks for the video and the knowledge
“It’s all clean, wiped it all down with acetone” *rubs finger oils over mating surface* 😂 jk! Very well done my guy, whoever powder coats your stuff deserves a cold ruby red kolsch 😬
Building an engine it's so satisfying like making a baby, A) putting the engine together is like making the baby. B) hearing your engine fire up for the first time it's like when your baby cries as soon as he's born. C) after that they both are all about just taking for money, money money money money money money money money money money..
Where was this video last week when I was stuck in an airport for 4 hours!!!
Should’ve just called me and I could’ve done it live for you!
Holy crap dude, this is amazing. The Miata community needed an in depth guide like this!!
Thanks man!

Cam agle sensor line up the side that has the dot with the grove on the cam sensor body. Thats TDC. Same on a 4g63 engine. Nice video

I never realised a guy could take a V8 apart like that! When do you do the other half of your motor?
Off camera
@@NappMotorsports Did I hear you say you were capping off the oil squirters? Just wondering why? I thought they were supposed to be a good thing, especially for an engine you plan on standing on?
jeeez.....this guy huh? obviously he said because its not needed with the forged pistons dum dum. im here watching this again becaause i really miss my escort GT and its the same engine. I dont miss blowing up transaxels though.
Fantastic video with great detailed explanations. Great job, you are excellent at working and explaining!

Good dude. Awesome presentation, explanations and work methodology.

Ah yes, carpark repairs. Now you're in my world Ray, only try doing the job in the harsh Scottish weather! Not so much fun then! Cold and wet!
I’ll stick to my dry garage haha
I will never build one because I'm not going to live much longer and I am still here at the end but I still took in a lot of knowledge and I will die a little smart thanks for the video and the knowledge
Aww man, well I’m glad you learned something from it!

“It’s all clean, wiped it all down with acetone” *rubs finger oils over mating surface* 😂 jk! Very well done my guy, whoever powder coats your stuff deserves a cold ruby red kolsch 😬
Haha I watched that happen last night and definitely chuckled. I’ll bring you a case when it comes out again.

Building an engine it's so satisfying like making a baby,
A) putting the engine together is like making the baby.
B) hearing your engine fire up for the first time it's like when your baby cries as soon as he's born.
C) after that they both are all about just taking for money, money money money money money money money money money money..
Feels like they’re money money money from the start 😂
Great first vid mate! Great work!!
