What, if any, are the differences between the 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005 Miata engines?

Anyone know?
My 2k3 has VVT and higher compression that the 99/00 doesn't have. Not sure on the 01/02 - have you checked the :batman: board's garage area?
VVT started in '01.
along with an appetite for higher octane :(Quote:

No difference in the 01-05 engine, good and bad.

OK, thanks, everyone. :D
