getting a TII
Im currently in the process of buying a 87 Turbo II. Im told that the only thing wrong w/it is a leaky injector/s. Any clue on how to fix them if its possible, or is it better to replace them?

no i don't think so there has been tons of engine fire cases to similar "leaking" injectors...so i would repair it asap!
make sure to go to mazda for the oem thermostat...spare no expense!

I'm a bit confused on what the actually problems (and solutions) are...
"Leaky" fuel injectors could mean they are clogged.  Minimally run some good fuel injector cleaner (I recommend Redline) through a couple tanks of gas.  If they are really bad, they need to be pulled and claener professionally.
If "leaky" means you smell gas under the hood, I doubt it's the fuel injector o-rings.
Also, how did you determine the thermostat needs to be replaced?  If you're looking at an overheating problem, BE CAREFUL - it could be as bad as a BAD engine.
