Comparison: Overhead Cam or Overhead Valve. I just wanted to know what everyone thought. Which do you prefer? What do you think is better? More efficient? More customizable? Better Performance? I wanna hear what you guys have to say. Thanks

I just wanted to make sure, I know some people who are dumb enough to do that. I just didn't want anyone hurting their cars.

If you're reffering to running it without piping or a filter thats really dumb...Sucking in just some very small rocks can severely hurt your engine even dust...

very true, none of us are experts

Well honestly think about it. How do high performance engine builders make their engines so powerful? They take every piece of that engine and make it run without any limitations and make the engine performance at is "perfect" (impossible but in theory achievable). Making you're engine run more...

thats just ridiculous

Ya i have been pricing it in shops compared to me doing it myself...i'm not sure which im going to do yet

Get a new replacement cap ASAP the cooling system works off of pressure...if the radiator has an open hole in it that could result in serious engine damage...as of the lights on the dash, there shouldn't be. There is no real way to put a sensor to check if a steel pipe has a hole or not.

That's probably it...the only main thing that could cause the exhaust to sound that much different would be some kind of hole and somehow the exhaust is acting like a glasspack muffler since its only loud at high rpm

Hmmm somewhere during the time at that firestone something either unintentional or on purpose happened...

By any chance does anyone know if these is any sorta of maintence book on the 2002-3 P5? Hanes doesnt seem to make one and i haven't called Mazda yet to ask.

Most likely the bottom radiator hose aka the one closest to the belts

That makes sense

I would prefer the GTO LS engines all the way
