Bit of backstory, I purchased a 2011 2 about 3 months ago, when I bought it, it had 73K miles. It was a single owner car that spent most of its life in Houston (where I am) and was serviced at multiple different Mazda dealers in the area. After inspecting it thoroughly I bought it. No leaks, no noises aside from a bad motor mount. After I replaced that I did the required maintenance including new plugs, air filters, oil changes with Mobil 1 and Wix filters, etc etc. I put nearly 10K miles on it due to multiple road trips and my long commute to work. It ran great with no issues.
This past Sunday my better half and I were cruising down the freeway and BANG, metal and oil and smoke flying out the back of the car down the freeway. I quickly shut it off, coasted to the shoulder and had it towed home. Upon investigation I found that the #1 rod bearing must have spun and seized on the crank journal, and on the downstroke snapped the rod and sent it through both sides of the block. You can see clear through the block and the rod is bent up pretty bad. Oil pan was damaged and the passenger side axle carrier was snapped clean off of the block.
Anyways, the past couple of days I pulled the engine and transaxle out, and I have a newer 47k mile engine coming in this Friday from my buddy with a commercial LKQ account. That being said, I have to strip down the engine to the bare long block, as the new engine is a long block and not a complete assembly. I need a service manual with all of the torque specs for the crank cradle bolts, flywheel bolts and pressure plate bolts, etc. when it comes time to assemble it back together this weekend.
I found a thread on Reddit with a full service manual but after trying to click the link today the site 404's and I am stuck without any torque specs. I am very experienced with building and swapping engines (I have a bare MX5 shell I am converting into a 1/4 mile drag car in the garage) but I cannot do without these torque specs.
Any help sourcing the workshop manual?
