hahahah i'm having the same problem with the exact same car a 87 n/a my coolant seals are blown i took my upper intake off and had the injectors cleaned and what i did is I replaced the vaccum lines while i did that. I heard that engine block sealant like the stuff you pour in your radiator to seal cracks helps.

Miata shop...yeah Marion (the guy who owns it) is also a gretna cop at the shop is pretty much on the back burner right now. Good guy, but unreliable and veryyyyy slow. Look for Cat 5 motorsports up in houma. Awesome Rotary guys.

goodluck,
