What pistons and compression ratio is recommended for a stock to mild build? Also, Does Mazda make oversized pistons?

It has been a wile since I have been on the forum. Where are all the posts over the last couple of years. Only 2 pages?

Yes it is the intermediate shaft. Where can I buy either the mount or the shaft with the mount that attaches to the engine block?

Great. Thank you!

I am finally rebuilding the motor that has a blown motor. When the rod went through the motor, it also took out the windage tray/support plate that sits between the block and oil pan. The motor I bought to rebuild has a tray, but obviously it is for a non turbo, so I would need to drill and...

When rod decided to leave the block (threw a rod), it took out the mount on the block for the right side drive shaft. Can I buy that mount for the drive shaft separately or do I need to buy the whole assembly?

Oops. Yes. I will correct it.

I bought a 2003.5 MS Protege that only has 53,000 miles with a blown motor. Bought a used engine, forged rods, coated oil pump, oil pressure regulator. My intention was to rebuild the motor with forged rods, new pistons etc, but have lost interest. I would be curious what you think the car...

How much could I sell a 2003 MSP. Only 53,000 mi, blown engine, but bought 2 very good engine blocks, 1 very good crank, 2 very good heads and new forged rods, new gaskets, new modified oil pump and oil pressure guage. How much would the car be worth: 1. As is with all parts listed above 2...

Anyone know how you align and attach the side mirror glass into the small tabs for the mirror adjustment

I have a 2008 CX9 with a factory tow package. I tow a 5x8 enclosed trailer with two race karts, kart stands, tool box, etc with no problems. I would guess total weight is 2,000 lbs. It tows great with no problems.

Everyone is taking about buying all these parts to increase HP on a car with 120,000 miles and it is Stock, which means Stock Rods. Based on what I have seen so far in tearing down 3 motors, I would not do anything until you get forged rods in the car and get a new oiling system. The number...

I have cleaned the MAF and EGR. Seemed to help for a couple of days, but has now come back. I have also determined that it is only occuring during an idle situation. Sitting at a stop light or off throttle crusing to a stop light. Any other ideas?

I bought a car with a blown motor. The weak link are the rods and oiling system. I a getting my pump within tolerance and forged rods.

I bought a car that had a blown motor. I am in the process of rebuilding with Forged Rods and will need to get new pistons. I will be keeping the motor pretty stock. Based on this, I assume I should go with 9.0 CR pistons vs 8.5. I would like your opinions on this and at what point should...

Thank you for everyones help. I cleaned the EGR and Mass Air Flow. So far so good. Motor has improved pickup/acceleration and no more stumble. It is fairly easy except trying to get to the two bolts on the EGR.

Yes, it only happens maybe once a day. The car is very driveable, but it will all of a sudden stumble. Feels like it will stall, but doesn't. It will happen just idling or driving down the road. I will check everything that was outlined on the link. I have new plugs, timing belt, fuel filter.

Will a Engine Code Analyzer pick up codes even if the check engine light is not on? I don't have one, but a friend does that I can borrow.

Some times the MIL (Check Engine Light) will come on, but then go off. New Timing belt, spark plugs. Approx 87,000 miles. Not sure on the IAC (what is an IAC) and throttle bore. I was thinking of cleaning the mass airflow sensor.

The motor stumbles and hesitates periodically. Happens while driving and sitting at the light. Any ideas what might be causing this?
