ok let me catch up..
I have not painted the irons yet, I still have to clean up the intermediate and rear iron before I paint them and yes Gunmetal (iron cast color to be exact) is the color I will be using...
I only want to use the plugs because I think on my first rebuild I would feel more comfortable with using them.. I don't doubt u one bit Kevin.
As for the SS model.. BWAHAHAHA thats hilarious lol... Why would u want to compare your 7 to a gm product tagging it "SS" I think its more a "SS7" I don't know hahaha.. your car is not close to STOCK lol...
ok I will be pulling the tape off tonight and possibly painting the irons (I highly doubt it) I will get more pics later..
THX guys!

well I just dropped another 225.00 on parts last night.. I purchased the following
Atkins Viton oil control o-rings
Atkins thermal pellet
Mazda OEM side seals
Mazda OEM corner seal plugs
Mazda OEM mim gasket
Mazda OEM o-rings for the lim
Mazda OEM oil control seal SPRINGS (all brand new ones)
All the mazda stuff is due in tomorrow.. The Atkins stuff will prolly be next week sometime...
I think I have almost everything I need to make the build go through.. so more cleaning through out the week. paint the irons, buy the street port templets and tools and get to work porting the engine.
I hope to be ready to assembly by March 30th (my date to have the engine ready for build)
I will shoot pictures of the parts once they roll in the door..

I wanted to use all Mazda parts... I was gonna use the mazda control o-rings but I figured I woudl use the viton ones this time...
here is the way I look at it.. I have about 100.00 more invested so far and I have ALL mazda stuff (besides the oil control o-rings) and I have everything AND MORE except for the needle bearings, sealent and oil pump chain
so I think in the long run I will come out ahead and wont have to dick around with selling stuff I wont need/use

Yeah I did, and I also called and talked to them at the shop... I would rather be a bit conservative then not happy with the drivability or busting into the water jacket...
Its my first build, my first port job, I will just be happy to get the engine together, running and driving...
It has been many years since I have attempted a build for myself... I want this one to be done with..
besides if I was really worried about building the perfect motor I would have replaced my housings...
btw I have a tube of hylomar on its way too.. (forgot all about that) will I only need one tube or more?

I have been quite fortunate to have some extra cash coming in to help with this build..
I have just learned to do everything I can as soon as I got the cash.
