I just picked up my reman and will begin work on my car in the coming week.

I would like to put together a list of parts that I should consider buying when installing a new engine.

Things like crush washers, gaskets etc... anything you think is worth replacing when doing a new installation --- I will greatly appreciate anyone's input on this matter as I would like to do it right the first time.

Note*** I am looking for the small bits and pieces that could often be overlooked by some one that is not a veteran with engine installations. E.G., Things like, a single turbo, simplified wiring harness, upgraded IC / Rad, water pump, DP etc... this is not what I am looking for.

Things like gaskets, fittings, knock sensors etc... the small parts are what I am interested in.


Thanks

 

Not a "veteran" but things I can remember replacing........

Mazda offers a gaskets set and IIRC most of the 'O' rings and crush washers come with it. Still had to track down a few though.
*new plug wires and coil harness
*New FPD or a delete ala: Banzai's instructions
*New coolant hoses, especially those to the turbos
*New hi-pressure rubber fuel lines
*Clean and flow test injectors with new 'O' rings and caps
*Silicone vacuum hoses
*New exhaust studs and nuts
*Rear seal

 

*New OMP lines...either stainless, new OEM or make your own (search for the link)
*Consider new FC thermosensor if it's not been replaced already.
*Convenient time if your considering relocating the IAT
*New t-stat

 

You should also inspect your motor mounts for damage, driver's side would be the more likely candidate for damage. It is also a good time to install a oil pan brace to prevent future leaks. Basically inspect/replace all the belts, hoses and tune up parts.

 

I asked this very same question a few months back and here were some answers.

Just remembered.,...if your still on the originals, a set of DaleClark's viton check-valves. I believe they're still available on ebay or you can PM him.
