Ivan...if you need a headgasket, I have an OEM one sitting in the garage with pretty much the entire engine gasket set...let me know if you need anything...I only used a few things out of there...

 

[yellow pro5]

did it come with the valve seals by any chance

 

[ScratchNSniff]

Yes, but the valve seals are one of the few things I think I used...I would have to look...

Decided that if/when I need to replace my motor (oil consumption at a rate of 1 quart every 1k miles) I am going to do a mild NA build more so focused on reliability and just being a fun daily driver. I also want to keep it as CARB legal as possible. Some stuff I am looking into, let me know if I am forgetting something:

50-60k used protege engine
AWR Oil Pan
TOGA high volume oil pump
New gaskets, etc.
Swap timing belt, water pump, tensioners from current engine (done about 10k ago)
Remove VCTS and mild port and polish on intake manifold
AEM SRI
JDM Mazdaspeed intake and exhaust cams
NSN longer 5th gear
Spec or Exedy stock replacement (or stage 1??) clutch
Lightened flywheel (spec or exedy?)
Volt and Oil pressure gauges
Maybe SLS catted midpipe
Maybe mild port and polish on the head
Maybe MSP LSD

Currently have:
MP3 ECU
Racing Beat catback
AWR F/R 70 duro motor mounts, side inserts
Kartboy short shifter

Damn, I had one for loud exhaust a couple years back but I got it thrown out of court.

I have never had a front plate on any of my cars. I've heard Ohio cops will get me for it, but I've never even had a cop mention it to me. And they have had PLENTY of oppurtunities to mention it to me, lol.
