    Interchangeable Motors

    Can you guys confirm that a 2002 Mazda 626 2.0 is interchangeable with a Protege 2.0. I need to buy a new motor and the 626 engines are considerably less from a junk yard than the Protege. Thanks

    Ford Probe 2.0

    It is my understanding that the Ford Probe 2.0, years 94 - 97 is the same motor as the protege FS 2.0. I have found one with very low miles and wanted to make sure the bore, stroke, compression, valves, cams, etc are all the same. I am not worried about the intake, ignition or other bolt ons...

    Main Bearing Support Plate

    I have a std Mazda Main Bearing Support Plate. It appears that several people have drilled and tapped an AN fitting to the plate. I have several questions: 1. Any reason this is a bad idea 2. Can you use an AN-8 or is a AN-10 preferred. AN-8 seems to fit better. 3. Would you weld the...

    Spicy down!

    I have torn apart my MSP engine and a used FS out of a Protege 5. The motors are the same. Only difference is the Main Support Tray, which does not have the oil return line. The only other difference is the oil lines for the turbo.

    Main Bearing Support Plate

    Main Bearing Support Plate Modification I need some ideas on what to do. My Main Bearing Support Plate (MBSP) got ruined when the rod broke. I have a Protege MBSP, but it does not have the oil inlet fitting. I really do not want to spend $350 for a MSP MBSP. Any suggestions?

    NOA Pistons

    Anyone familiar with NOA after market OEM pistons. They are a division of Nippon. I will never be over 300 hp in the car, so not sure if I would need to go with Forged pistons.
