Mazda Miata Fan - Episode 6 - Valve Cover Gasket Replacement

In this episode, I demonstrate how to remove the valve cover, replace the valve cover gasket and replace the valve cover on a Mazda Miata. It's geared toward the NA and NB models.

I also cover inspecting the timing belt and painting the valve cover while it's removed from the car.

Post-Production Notes:

* At the end, I said that if you follow these instructions you will have an "oil free top of your motor." I meant to say that you would have an "oil leak free top of your motor."

I like the organization and thoroughness of your production. And the editing is good as well. One thing that I noticed is that in some of the interior shots it was too dark to see what you were shooting, Perhaps a small light would help? And some of the macro shots were a little fuzzy. Actually the light would also help those shots as well since it will cause a small aperture on your camera which will increase the depth of field. Just my 2 cents.

GREAT tutorial. You could have even done a two-fer and got the CAS O-ring while the cover was off, to help even more people out :P

I just bought a 95 with a bad gasket. Could this explain coolant loss?
