I'd like to sell as a whole but will part out if necessary. Engine had the rod thrown threw the block and after 2 engine rebuids over the past 3 years I'm giving up. Clutch, water pump, oil pump, all belts, maf, coil packs and 8mm wires, turbo, pistons (if they're still good) have less than...

like the title says. I am in need of a intake manifold and the timing covers for a Mazdaspeed Protege.let me know what you have and how much you're asking shipped to 48073

I am pretty much going to get straight to the point and answer questions as they come up. Is the ONLY way to spin a rod bearing is by having either low or no oil? My mechanic is telling me I ran my car out of oil (which was totally rebuilt last July by him and he had the crankshaft ground +/-...

I am testing the waters on selling my MSP. I live in Michigan and I am losing my company truck so I now need something a little more practical for winters. I recently rebuilt the engine and replaced a bunch of parts. the exterior is about a 7 out of 10 due to my kids bumping into it or parking...

Does anyone know the order of assembly for the main bearing caps. My mechanic is working on the longest engine build anyone has heard of (had my car since end of February) and is currently stuck on the order of placement of the caps. I think he said 2 were labelled "k" and 2 were labelled "L"...

Like the title says. I NEED oversized pistons for my MSP. I prefer new but might consider used. Let me know what you have and price shipped to Detroit area.

Up for sale is my 2003.5 MSP. I am the 2nd owner buying it in 2004 with 11,000 miles on it. It currently sits with 91,XXX. This car has always been taken care of with oil changes every 4,000 miles with Mobil 1 synthetic. The interior is a 9.5 out of 10. The only issue is a small tear in the...

As the title says, I get my car to 3 psi and then it sputters. I can force it to 6 psi but it does not give me anymore power and it burns oil with or without boost. I have a tiny bit of shaft play in the turbo in and out and up and down. I am just not sure if the turbo is shot or maybe piston...

I am pretty sure i have nailed down the issues with my car. Unfortunatly it looks like my turbo took a dump and i will prob replace the center assy and I have virtually no compression after replacing everything from the head gasket up. I am assuming its the rings since I now blow blue smoke all...

Quick background, my sister in-law over heated my car and ended up blowing up the radiator. i replaced the radiator to find out i now needed to do a head gasket as well. i then replaced the head gasket, head (i screwed up the stock one by forgetting to prime the oil pump), t-stat, timing belt...

after doing a new timing belt i correctly setting the timing but it runs for a few seconds and skips timing. the spring on the tensioner stretches toward the fire wall, stalls the car. any ideas? these are before and after photos. a video will be on you tube shortly.

Like the title says, i have a MSP Head for sale. I bought this from another member a while ago and he "forgot" to inform me that there was an issue with one of the valves. He said there was a chip in the valve but i found that the exhaust valves are probably bent. I don't have the time or...

i have read around on "how to" change valve seals/valve springs without removing the head with either jamming a rope or by buying a special fitting and putting pressure in the cylinders to stop the valve from falling. my question is has anyone ever done this on their MSP? another thing is i dont...

ok, here is the scoop. my sister in law borrowed the car and over-heated it which then exploded the radiator. i replaced the radiator, rad cap, plugs, t-stat, headgasket, timing belt, timing belt tensioner/spring, valve cover gasket, intake mani gasket and head (only because i screwed the one up...

As the title says, looking for a complete head for my MSP and prefer something local to Detroit since shipping will probably be expensive.

alright, i did some searhing but no luck yet. i just did my headgasket and everything is back together but this one clip. it is the main wire harness that comes from the drivers side of the block, splits off that harness toward the firewall, and there are three sets of clips. the one i can't...

i have read up on the "how to" removal of these but in the write up it does not really say there are any benifits to doing this. it actually seems that it would be more effective to leave them alone. has anybody done this that has experienced any benifit to doing it?

hey guys, i am in the process of replacing my head gasket but i don't know what size allen wrench i need to take off the giant bolt in the center of the head. i am trying to avoid going out and buying a bunch of tools i probably will never use or multiple trips to the store. thanks in advance.

alright, a real quick run down. my sister in law borrowed my car then proceeded to over heat it and blow a hole in the radiator. i replaced the radiator and the t stat at the same time. i started it and let it idle in my driveway for a few when the reservior tank started to bubble. i assumed it...
