    Welcome. Post up some pics when you can.

    I think you'll get a better response if you post your question seperately here: http://mazdaroadster.net/forumdispla...MAZDA-ROADSTER

    That is a serious problem and one you should address immediately, before the end breaks off the crank and it's new engine time. You'll need a new crank bolt, a new key and some Loctite.

    Welcome to the forum and hope it all goes well.

    Good to have you here Josh, and I have owned several Roadsters with the same problem, they ran fine after being repaired correctly!

    While your working on a new crank pulley, it's a good idea to hit the timing belt, water pump,gaskets, and radiator flush while it's in front of you. Me and my Dad tagged team on my old 92 miata when the head gasket went bad before the turbo install. It took us 8 hours to do the stuff I mentioned above, with the help of some good old energy drink of course. Good to have you here with us,Post a picture bro.

    Welcome to the forum, ......1990 if it is a 4 slot crank pulley that engine is junk, most likely best money spend is on a better engine
