Well here are pics of the swap this saturday that started at 7 in the morning til 9 at night, some of you may remember my previous motor that i believed had a coolant seal issue due to excessive smoke upon start up. My friend that sold me the motor had tried to fix the smoking issue and hot starting but putting in cleaned injectors (which i had just done the week before), but the problem still persisted. He warrantied the motor before installation because he believed it was fine (10,000mile reman) but it was far from it, i'm almost posetive the oil seals were done and the coolant seals, because it smoked white and blue and it smelled HORRIBLE. My friend then replaced my old tired motor with a reman built from all new parts including rotors and housings so here are the pics, don't mind the kid in the pictures he's a trader and now owns a 2005 1.8T GTI instead of a 7. Well tell me what you think, also do remans come with plaques on them now from mazda? Mine did if you look in the last pic you can see the blue plaque and it has a number on it and a date if i remember correctly. I was also surprised it came with a new flywheel also, but perhaps that is protocol?

Yeah i am pretty young that isn't me in the pictures thought thats my friend we're 18 though, still in highschool, we just used regular ol' wreches and ratchets, it took a good day but we got it all done. Also yes that is a stock flywheel it's new(atleast i think) it came with the motor.
