progress has been slow its been about two years so far and i have the whole front end down to the bare metal excluding the inner wheel wells. ive started the por-15 process because i had started to notice some rust and im ocd like no other. the entire engine is spotless. i took the flywheel to napa and had it resurfaced then installed a new rear seal which was leaking. i also installed a new pilot bearing, pilot seal, clutch, pressure plate, and release bearing. i have removed and installed most of the new energy suspension bushings on the front end. my engine mounts are still in great condition but my tranny crossmember is shot. and for the life of me i cannot figure out how it happened but the nut on the end of the y portion of the crossmember spins in one place, it wont tighten or come off. so i will be using a cut off wheel to get the nut off and re thread the bolt. this way i can slide the y portion into the new crossmember i bought from mazdatrix. Ill be putting pictures up soon

I also did something stupid, and need help. i removed the pulleys on the front of the engine to clean and forgot where the timing light notches go when i went to put it back on. there seems to be a single tiny dot on each pulley and the part they connect to, is this my answer?

I just posted this in another thread actually. The circles on each piece of the main pulley line up with each other. Then, they all can only go on one way onto the hub. One of the bolt holes is offset, so you can't screw it up.

 

thanks! lol i think this is like the 20th time you have helped me
