cutting open a head
I'm picking up a messed up 99-00 for cheap. The cam bearings are scored, most likely due to a thrust bearing failure. I figure it could be opened up so that best porting could be determined. Anyone have a recommendation as to who is up for the job?

Corky bell cut apart some miata heads, atleast one of them anyway. When they were doing the research for their coolant reroute for the H-EX car he was looking for messed up cheap heads to do that. He might be able to supply better pictures for you of what has already been done, if anything actually took place.

You don't remember which is which in that picture? Theres a HUGE difference. I'd guess the bottom is 99 judging by intake runner angle. I read somewhere the 94-97 is 23* angle and the 99 is supposed to be like 54 or 56*

allright, if it's not needed, then it's not needed.
maybe someone wants it then? the cam bearings are f'd up, but can be fixed. if someone wants it for uber cheap, PM me.
