engine

I just had the head rebuilt, and as soon as I got it back together and running it threw a rod. Any suggestions on a new short block to get and where to find one? I figured I'd go big and get forged parts so this never happens again too.

I have a 2003 p5 with about 123,xxx miles on it and just the other day after driving over a small bump on the road something sounding like an exhaust leak was heard from the front of my car. It was strange as I always drive over these kinds of bumps/roads in the northeast, and it has never...

It's been a very bad week and I'm hoping this community can give me some advice. I have a 2008 CX-7 AWD with the 2.3L turbo, about 115K miles on it. On 11/8/14, while driving down the highway, the engine began making a high pitched whine. Didn't sound like a belt, didn't sound like anything...

I'm looking to turbo my 2 like everyone else, the only thing I need to find is a exhaust head flange so I can make a turbo manifold. any leads would be great. 2011 2 yozora 1.5L G. like this ^

Hi, I have a 2007 mazda 3. I feel there is something wrong with the transmission. When I drive the car the gear shift is not smooth and produces little jerks which I find strange for an automatic transmission. And when the car is cold putting it in reverse produces significant amount of jerks...

My Hot-Pipes manifold arrived today (nana) It feels a nice quality product, all welds look pretty and have been done to a high standard. Can't wait to have it installed Thursday!! Will add pics of installation on Thursday night/Friday :) Will edit post later linking to photobucket with...

Me and my buddy have been trying to fix my protege for quite some time now but it wont turn over. When we turn the key on the fuel pump doesnt make a noise and when you crank the key we get no spark from the plugs but once I stop turning the key we get a spark. We think it may be an ECU problem...

Yesterday on my way to work, My car started acting up. giving loud noises from the engine. Limped it in to the work parking lot. I left the car running and took off the oil cap and got sprayed in the face with oil. Motor needs heavy work I am assuming since its loading up so heavy. Instead...

The weirdest thing happened to me yesterday. My car was working fine, perfectly. I just had the timing belt, water pump, alternator belt, and spark plugs changed like 3-4 weeks ago. Then all of a sudden the idle went crazy, going up and down. When i hit the gas it just it stalled and sounded...

Hello all, First post here on the forum concerning my Mazda 2 from year 2012. I really enjoy the car and haven't had any problems with it except for this one thing: Cylinder 1 currently has the smallest valve clearance buckets of 2.85mm installed. The other cylinders are on a close second...

Problem Solved (07/06/2014) The right side Ignition Coil was failing. It was a cheaper after market coil I purchased from Autozone, so I guess I learned today you get what you pay for. Hey everyone, So I've got a problem with my Protege5 and it may prevent me from getting home... which is...

Hi Guys, I bought a Mazda MX5 Eunos recently, but the engine keeps freezing up first thing in the morning. Especially when it's cold. It takes a good three or four tries before anything happens. Is there anything I can do before I end up taking it to a garage? Thanks guys.

Here is a brand new SSAFC for sale! I ended up going with an Electromotive standalone system on my car and never installed this. Looking for $325 shipped! Open to reasonable offers as well. Thanks.

Got an E-Mail from a very trusted friend, who has owned exotics. He's been an engineer and machine designer since 1978. PS he still owns his first car. 1972 superbeatle, that he bought when he was 17!! It still runs great, so he's not into disinformation. I can imagine some of the Amsoil...

Hello everyone! I recently just bought a new 2014 Mazda3 and I can't be more happy with it. The only thing I was curious about was leaving the accessories on but turning the engine off (e.g. if I'm still listening to the radio but I've pulled into the garage). I've read some suggestions to...
