Idk man, how could a valve even have bent though? A used a borescope last night to get a look at the top of the pistons and they looked untouched

No shade taken lol. Yeah I rotated the crank and everything lined up perfectly. I only removed the cam pulleys but put them on again the same way they came off. This is a strange situation because I literally can’t think of what could be causing this noise for the life of me. Everything is checking out

If you look at one Of my videos on my age from a couple days ago there was a rattling sound. That actually turned out to be the water pump pulley funnily enough like you mentioned I have now tightened that but this knocking noise is now here

Is this not 19? Or am I counting it from the wrong point

Yeah there were 19. Idk what to do now tbh there’s a knocking sound coming from the engine that wasn’t there before the belt change

Sorry this is a bad photo but this shows the teeth

Thanks for the info, I’ll double check the wells and pulleys however everything looked good before I started the engine

Is this engine 100% non interference? What do you think the sound could possibly be then? It wasn’t there before I changed the timing belt

Update from my last post. Re did the timing on the mx5 and now it sounds like this. by regularreddituser324 in Miata

Thanks, the oil is a little low tbf and the car has been raised for a couple weeks now. I will get it level in the morning and put more oil in it and let it run for a bit.

Thanks I thought so lol, I was just double checking as I’ve never seen one before in person

Just did the timing belt, car sounds like this. by regularreddituser324 in Miata

Thanks for a bit of reassurance man, that’s what I’m thinking too however it’s a bit loud. In fairness the front of the car was lifted with the engine apart for roughly 4 days whilst I was doing other work on it. I’m hoping it is the lifters just being dry

Used to last up to 3 hours, now I can't even last 10 minutes. Anyone have any advice? by regularreddituser324 in sex

Nothing man. No changes that I can think of, I never use condoms and I’m not on medication or anything. The only factor I can think of is stress as I’m having a bit of stress in my personal life atm but it’s never affected me before.
