- 2002 Mazda Protege ES 2.0
Hey guys and gals, My name is Shawn and am technically a noob here on this forum. However I have used this forum before but never have logged in. Anyway I have an old 02 Protege with 240K miles and lost my oil plug the other day and realized it too late so now I am looking into replacing the engine. I bought a book from Autozone, but it did not have the exact engine in it that I have. So now I am scouring youtube and this forum and the closest thread I could find was a rebuild thread. I was wondering if anyone on here has replaced the engine and dealt with that. I plan on taking hundreds of pictures throughout the process and labeling all the wires with numbers on masking tape and corresponding those numbers with pictures. Also I plan on carrying a voice recorder in my top pocket and talking the entire time I am doing it so as to have a redundancy when having to replace the engine. I can find no schematics nor directions to follow and ANY would be of massive help. And the engine today would be still a perfect example of Japanese engineering and quality had the stinking bolt not came out. Thank you in advance for your help, and if I missed a forum somewhere, please redirect me.
