what would the engine need to come out for.

 

[gimpo2]

just makes things easier. changing the wiring harness would be a pain in the ass with the engine in place.

 

[InFeXIoN]

take like pictures for me if you can, i want to see the progress of how the swap went, and later you can tell me details of how it went, so i know of what to expect.

 

[gimpo2]

sorry, not wasting time taking pics... i don't have a camera anyways. its pretty straight forward... pull the s*** out, put the other s*** in.

what would the engine need to come out for.

It does not but 97% of it is disconnected and it makes it much better to align the clutch etc..

 

[InFeXIoN]

cool, looks like a headache plus i have like half the tools that i would need to do it, so thats why my shop comes in handy, only 640 to do entire installation.

+parts... i just spent 600 on misc gaskets, bolts, seals, timing belt. i had to get some engine and manifold gaskets that you're not gonna need. you prolly won't need a new timing belt either. but its still gonna add up.

 

[InFeXIoN]

well damn, you should make me alist of all the gaskets and bolts and s*** ill need to pick up

 

[Brian MP5T]

That would be a pain in the ass.

 

[gimpo2]

That would be a pain in the ass.

yeah i spent 45 minutes to an hour at the dealer looking at the parts database and all the diagrams.

 

[InFeXIoN]

That would be a pain in the ass.

yea so is looking at mazda's diagrams on their computer's

 

[gimpo2]

its just sooo much easier to just give you a hard time about it though

 

[InFeXIoN]

if i went id probably forget something i needed, cause im still not sure on all what ill need, so thats where you come in gimp.

 

[gimpo2]

i have my parts invoice with all the parts numbers on it and stuff.
hell i even got him to print out the diagrams with the parts numberr...


scanner would help alot huh?

 

[InFeXIoN]

umm.... just keep it ill get it somehow, you know i will

 

[gimpo2]

ok, it'll have some gaskets and bolts and stuff that you won't need

 

[InFeXIoN]

ull just have to mark which ones i dont need.

 

[Lil Freek]

what gaskets do you need?
there's the pressure plate between the crank and the tranny.... but that's the only one i had, i think....

 

[gimpo2]

umm 2 crank seals.. those aren't really gaskets i guess.. i guess all the gaskets i got are cuz i'm swapping engines
