Mazda Mx5 Miata Valve Cover Restoration without Paint! The Valve Cover on my 1995 Mazda NA Miata was looking a little ugly due to years of oxidation which caused some deep pitting. Since I didn't have time to powder coat it, I decided I should make it look as good as possible!
First, I took the cover off and disassembled the whole thing. Then I hit it hard with degreaser, the power washer, and hot soapy water. From there, I took it over to NWC Blasting to get Vapor Honed. It came out pretty good, but after some more rubbing with steel wool and a little polishing, it came out as good as new!
I then show you how to properly install the valve cover on your NA / NB Mazda Miata with the proper torque sequence. Enjoy!

Engine Cleaner / Degreaser: amzn.to/3y3ZuWO
Power Washer: amzn.to/3vTl9ze
Brake Cleaner: amzn.to/33wZP6t

What I Used for Install:

Did you take the "baffle plates" underneath the valve cover out to clean underneath them from possible sanding dust? I was thinking of doing this next winter and just heard some horror stories about metal dust getting underneath those and then making their way to the engine with the oil pressure.

Ty for this! Question: apparently prev owner of my 73k mi 95m just replaced vc gasket. I just replaced plugs/wires the other day and it appears small vc leaks at 2 plugs. Plugs dry/not oil fouled fortunately. Think i can loosen all my vc bolts and re torque in order to spec to see if that remedies b4 replacing again? Thoughts? Ty!

Absolutely! It’s worth a try. If the problem still persists, take the valve cover off completely to see if it was done and/or done properly.

Powder coat aluminum, wrinkle black, or wrinkle red like the Mazdaspeed Miata. The wrinkle red would be a nice contrast on a black Miata.
@DriveItRyan
@DriveItRyan 3 года назад
All of those options would look great. I agree!

What is the valve cover made out of ? Is it a good idea to grease it a bit to protect it?
@DriveItRyan
@DriveItRyan 3 года назад
Aluminum or (Aluminium) depending on who you ask 🤪. I personally would just leave it raw and refresh it with polish every once in a while. Ultimately, I think a fresh powder coating job would look the best and stand the test of time with minimal maintenance.

When you took spark plug 4 out did you get water in your engine internals??

I've heard steel wool can embed into metals and then rust leaving stains, scotch bite is better I believe
@DriveItRyan
@DriveItRyan 3 года назад
Yeah I’ve heard mixed reviews about this. I’ve never had this issue but I’ll keep an eye on it and see if it becomes a problem over time. I’ll probably powder coat it before it gets to that point though

Lucky you didn't blow a coil pack or two, good on ya for not driving it like that. My vote is silver powder, and do the intake too.
@DriveItRyan
@DriveItRyan 3 года назад
Silver would look good for sure! I think the K series will get a silver valve cover when that day comes. I’m just waiting for my money tree to blossom 😂

What is that cold air intake? Which brand?
@DriveItRyan
@DriveItRyan Год назад
Rev9 Power intake sold by Spirit Road USA. It’s one of the only complete intake solutions for the 1.8l. I did a video on it and the link to the intake is in the description. Check it out! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_pyKyCkNwwY.html

If it were me i would have used a rag and long screw driver to soak up the oil so it didnt go all over the pistons

18 minute video titled how to restore your valve cover, and more than half of it is dedicated to putting the thing back together. Of the rest of it, the actual restoration of the valve cover is covered by vapour blasting that you didn’t even show!? Bad video naming dude, might have been happy to watch it if I wasn’t completely different to what I was expecting :/
@DriveItRyan
@DriveItRyan Год назад
I see where you are coming from. I had every Intention of filming the vapor blasting, but when it came time to do it, I was asked not to film. I tried to thoroughly cover everything else around that process. Sorry to disappoint.

The idle speeds too high. It should be around 850 RPMs. Yours is up to about 1200 RPMs
