Timing on newly forged motor!
#1

Hey guys! So I just rebuilt my motor and have been having a hell of a time getting the timing right. I took the CAS off and twisted it past the adjuster and the car runs great, however I know that this is only a temporary fix. I know there is a way to count the belt teeth or something to double check the timing.
Thanks!

Forged on Manley rods and 8.8:1 supertech pistons!!! Ready for a turbo!

Crank pulleys have been know to deteriorate and slip.
Crank gears aren't always on mark either. Keyways deteriorate and there's even been one instance from a member this year where the the Woodruff key sheared, which means the crank gear wasn't aligned with the crankshaft (he had a supercharger though -- more stress).
Easy way to tell if you can rely on the crank pulley mark is to stick your dipstick into the #1 spark plug hole. You should reach TDC when indicated by the crank pulley mark. Otherwise, something else is off as described above.
Crew? You let someone else work on your Miata?

You want the little marks on the teeth of the cam gears to lign up with the back cover
