Are there any rotary specific tools that would be useful to buy????

I intend to be an entheusiast of these cars for life and i might take on an engine rebuild at some point. I have the usual sockets etc but my mates ordering some on the cheap so whats useful? are there any special ones for the engine?

Money no object what would you get?

 

54mm (or 2 1/8th [I think]) socket for the flywheel nut.

 

Rotor bearing and stationary gear bearing mazda SSTs.

Flywheel stopper.

Pilot bearing puller mazda SST.

Metric dial indicator.

Oh, and a very big air compressor

 

Each FSM has a section that lists the special tools needed for the different models. Finding the original special tools is another matter. If you want to see which ones are needed, in my sig line is a link to the online FSMs.

Take a look at Pineapple's forum, they sell some of the Mazda SSTs:
