rebuild

Hi all. I'm new to this site and found while researching my Tribute's engine problem. The mechanic told me that my timing belt jumped and caused chaos and my valves hit the head. A friend's father said that is not possible since it is a chain, not a belt. It's a 4cyl, 2.3 liter engine with...

Looking to get some parts to get the piston rings replaced by my mechanic. The brands I've come across the most are ITM, Sealed Power, and DNJ. I also need to get the connecting rod bearings and a head gasket set. I found some really inexpensive rod bearings, but they're made by ITM so I wonder...

So, just sold my Ls1 FD for something with a little more.., I mean a lot more... room. Got rid of the speed bug, mostly but still enjoy a little boost. Just don't get the same feeling from an NA v8, honestly. Anyway, I just picked up an MP5, real cheap. It's white with sunroof and manual trans...

Hi all. If I rebuild my FS-DE with K1 rods, spec stg.2 clutch and Fidanza billet, and maybe UD pulleys, (looking to boost between 10-15psi) will I have to balance the engine? Can someone walk me through the rebuild/balance basics or suggest a good link for tips and info? Not finding too much...

2002 manual MP5 with 90k miles. Just picked it up for a good price knowing it might need an engine. Intake and exhaust as far as I can see. Looks like this engine has seen boost.... 99% sure of it actually. (((((I'm not a mechanic, I'm up for any feedback.))))) Engine starts up quick and...

Hey everyone, I just bought all the parts to rebuild my transmission in my 2003.5 mazdaspeed protege. I was wondering if anyone knew where a guide could be located as far as a complete tear down and rebuild. A little over a week ago I was able to find one on the mazdaspeed how-to section but I...
