WAYYYYYY ahead of you.

 

[SpicyMchaggis]

ouch. We all make mistakes though. Chalk it up to experience.

 

[Paul]

well i just called and ordered the key. it's $3.75 plus 10% for overnight fee and it will be here on friday.

 

[Aricjm15]

where did you order one from? they probably ***** you, I tried getting the one out of the protege block I had at work but it was stuck in there, how the hell did yours just come out? the same key for the drive pulley is used for the crank/cam pulley

 

[Paul]

^^it was a b**** to come out. We actually bent a screwdriver and used that to pull the gear foward. Moving the gear foward pulled the key with it.
I ordered it from Pugi Mazda cuz they are close to work. It was $3.75 plus 10% for next day crap. They are going to call me on Fri morning so I can go pick it up

what the hells a wood druff key?
3.75 for a hard to find car part isn't really anything to complain about.

 

[wicked]

I wouldn't complain of the price,it's hardly enough to buy a mcdonalds lunch.

i'm not complaing, just the fact that i have to wait 2 days.
it's a steel square more or less. it's the key that holds the crank pulley to the timing gear.
a key for the keyway

 

[Aricjm15]

I'll check the cost of it tomorrow, I'm willing to bet that the dealer is only paying $0.70for it, and you ordered it wednesday and they are getting it friday? mazda only charges the 10% extra to the dealer on next day orders.

 

[Paul]

well it cost me about $4.72 and they got it in yesterday and didn't call. ARRGGGHHH.
go figure more stupid luck. the car is in my cuz's driveway and starting today the town is tearing up the sidwalks and curbs. so hopefully i can get the car out. If not then i'll take my manifold off and send it out to be ported/polished.
I got they key and will put the car back together tonight.
wish me luck

 

[stdntDrvr]

good luck!

 

[Paul]

how is she going to sound w/ these cams?

 

[stdntDrvr]

i don't know about f/i...but at idle, my car sounded like it was under water...you'll just have to hear it...it's hard to describe.
