Okay so while ive been waiting for the socket I pulled my car apart with intentions of painting the engine bay.. so far guards bumper front mount etc. are off as are the coil packs and wiring has been removed from the front. Should i disconnect the wiring at one end ? how much should be taken out

 

pulled engine apart today, definatly need one rotor and housing rest looks pretty good.

What else do I need to buy for the engine?

Oil seals water seals etc.

 

OUCH!
That's some major damage from an apex seal failure...

the other housings looks pretty good though. you should be fine with a rotor,housing, soft and hard seal kit

 

Maybe its just the pics or fact that I haven't had morning coffee yet, but that looks like a 3mm engine?

 

yip its been slotted for 3mm seals so will have that again

 

I'm trying to figure out what I need to buy at this stage.. New Rotor and slot to 3mm seals.. New housing..

I'm assuming that I shouldn't reuse the apex seals on the old good rotor?

New oil and water seals, new banjo washers etc.

Just did the fuel filter as well.

I don't wanna go all out as money is the main issue but I don't want to cheap out on anything either

 

where do they sell a soft and hard seal kit?

 

Any of the vendors have them, as does Mazda.

 

Update..

Engine is pretty much assembled, getting 2 1680cc injectors, koyo alloy radiator, sard fuel pressure regulator, wideband o2 sensor with gauge and will wire it up to microtech also. anything else i should consider getting?
