My in-bay Disassembly Sequence

FWIW, the attached MS Word document is the chronological series of steps I used to strip our '94's engine in the FD bay, down to the exhaust manifold. At the same time I was going for a LIM gasket replacement, I needed to change all 14 coolant hoses, and those steps are also mentioned in the sequence. Building back up was just the reverse of the tear-down.

Some of my references were to color-codes that are unique to my car.

Don't know if it's useful, so take or leave it as you will.

All that and more can be found in the FAQ thread stickied in this forum. You know the one that all the newbies are too lazy to read.

EGR Blockoff: to simplify, reduce weight, and prevent possible catastrophic failure due to malfunctioning EGR valve (note: many japanese RX-7's don't use EGR valves, including the 99+ models):

EGR Switch Bypass: the EGR switch is the sensor that causes a check engine light ( code 16 ) when it doesn't detect the EGR valve opening and closing. This sensor tends to fail from heat, and give a false alarm even when the EGR valve is working properly.
