im droping in a new engine the TII has 82000 k on it and its a 88 im planning on putting in new engine mounts but im not sure what else should be done while i have the engine out what would you guys do?
and what is the difference in racing mounts vs. stock
is it worth it and what mounts do you recommend
thanx

 

Racing = stiffer.

Change all of the gaskets if possible. Whenever I have my engine out I make sure to do everything possible because it is a whole lot easier when it is out of the car.

 

thats what i was thinking but what do you do?

 

I'm also in the middle of an engine change. Where and how much for the engine mounts?, is it worth it for a daily driver/weekend warrior?.

you can get mazdaspeeds
for 40$ but i dont know if they are the best to use or not

 

I just noticed you are in Minnesota

Anyway, people seem to like the racing motor mounts because they transmit the power a little better but they will also trasmit the vibration into the cockpit more. The mounts are only the rubber foot part so make sure you have the other two pieces.

For $40 I would buy those because I can't imagine the stock ones are much cheaper.

"That is what I was thinking but what do I do?"

What do you mean? What do you change?

 

yes what else should I change or would at least be a good idea to change out or replace while the engine is out.

 

Clutch, flywheel, gaskets, oil pan sealant if leaking, spark plugs, vacuum hoses. Basically anything you thin kwould be easier with the engine out.

 

get the rad and oil cooler flushed. change all rad and heater hoses. fuel lines probably and fuel filter. vac lines, all the tune up stuff. if you have spare money you could change the oil cooler lines.

 

How exactly do you flush the oil cooler?, I have it out to get hoses for it?

Send your oil cooler to MazdaTrix they can sonic clean your oil cooler.
