## Description

We have designed and manufactured the Crankshaft Saver and have saved many of my customers Miata's engines by using my Crank Saver bushing and custom key.  Crankshaft Saver was designed so that it can also be disassembled. It is not permanent, there are no glues, no welding. Your front crankshaft seal can still be serviced at any time. Crankshaft Saver is great life insurance for healthy crankshafts and ultimate repair kit for damaged ones. So the next time you're servicing the timing belt add the Crankshaft Saver to your parts list. I strongly recommend that you purchase a new Timing Belt Sprocket and Pulley Boss to insure true surfaces and slots before assembly if you have key and keyway damage. If you are using the the Crankshaft Saver as life insurance for your crankshaft then there is no reason to replace the Timing Belt Sprocket or Pulley Boss. I will not guarantee satisfactory results if these two items are not replaced.CRANK SAVER DOES NOT ADDRESS THE 1990 SHORT NOSED CRANKSHAFT ISSUE. THERE TWO REVIEWS FOR CRANK SAVER THAT ARE UNFAVORABLE AND IT IS DUE TO MIATA OWNERS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE VARIATION

    Excellent Miata fix!!
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2017*

Simply the best Miata fix. Previous owner had used a soft key and left the crank bolt loose. Crank was badly damaged but just before I pulled the motor to replace the crank I found this!! Installed in a couple hours. Very well designed, and excellent communication from the seller. Car has a couple hundred miles on it and runs better than ever. Highly recommend!!

    You need this
  

*by G***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2020*

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for bring this back. The pulley wobbled off of my 93 Miata about a year ago and I wish I had this. It needed a new pulley and key ( it broke off and I had to cut, grind, and pick it out with minimal damage) and crank but I was able to save it. I looked long and far for this to help but to no avail. As well built as the Mazda motors are, idk what they were thinking when they left that 1/2” gap in the nose between the crank and pulley bolt. Long story short, my E-store belt kit broke again and I just put in a Gates but I will have no problem taking it apart again to install this gem. Not sure about newer motors but if you have a 93 1.6 you need this. Thanks again for bringing this back.

    The intend of the item is good although fit is problematic
  

*by M***V on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2022*

The design and the intend are well but the crankshaft bolt would not fit through. The hole of the saver is slightly undersized (like they used imperial size drill for metric bolt size) which created fitment issues. I had to re-drill the hole with large drill bit which is uncommon and doesn’t fit drill machine. Otherwise it works well once installed. The lower review is because they do not have their quality control in place and sent a product that requires modification by the customer.Once we are past the modification, the item works well , but it took extra time and struggle to make it fit! Be aware!
