I'm planning on getting a new engine installed from KDR but my local mechanic who knows how to fix RX7s is planning on doing the job for me. What would be the critical questions I should ask to see if he really knows what he is doing?

 

How many engines have you personally removed and replaced?

 

You could also ask for contacts of prior customers. Find out if they are satisfied with his/her work.

 

for some reason that made me laugh out loud, haha...

ask him how many cylinders your FD has, and see what he says... then maybe you'll get your answer.

 

hahaha well thats an old question I think every mech would prob know already, but I'll give it a try.
