Add 1/2 quart of Castrol DEX/Merc with each oil change, it'll take care of the lifters. When they start making noise again, it's time to change the oil

Looks like the car has been run at high RPM's a lot. From the factory Miata's get lean at high RPM's. OR alternatively, see below.....

Just tried that myself on my cloth top, 303 is amazing.
