OK, I've got Joey's hoist(THANKS!) I'd like to pull the engine and trans out of my parts car this weekend.

What: Engine & Tranny pulling
When: Sat, 26-apr-2008 (this sat) 10am
Where: 11231 Greenspring Ave, 21093 (PM for detailed directions)
Food: Pizza/Chicken/BBQ(we'll vote!) and Beer/Soda/IcedTea(all)
AND: Anybody who comes can have pretty much anything they want off the parts car
YOU: I've never done this so any help/knowledge/etc will be highly appreciated!

Any tools I need other than sockets, open-end, box, screwdrivers?

I'll be reading the FSM this week!!

with 2 people, thats no more than a few hours of work and pretty simple to do.
disconnect everything that attaches engine and tranny to the car (wires, hoses, etc) leaving only the mount points ahead of time. drive shaft may be interesting depending on your exhaust system.

just take your time and don't rush or you can potentially break something you didn't want to.


P.S that mazda FSM is a piece of crap.

 

Okay. is there any place to get a replacement O2 sensor for my LC-1 thats cheaper than the 80 bucks im finding everywhere? old sensor went with my old car.

ok. scratch that. bought one new from amazon.com for 51 with free shipping.

 

Thanks for the info. No confirmed helpers at this point...
FREE BEER!!! FREE BBQ!!! FREE PARTS!!!
what more do you guys want

what car is this all the parts from?

-Matty

 

86 red/red NA coupe. See thread in sig.

 

VAX, I won't be able to make it. My Jeep popped an axle seal so I'll be pressing in some new bearings on the D44 shaft tomorrow.

 

Thanks for the offer! With no takers at this point for today, I'm gonna re-schedule for next Sat (May 3) and get better organized here. Looks like it might rain later anyway. I'm gonna be in calif all week, so I wouldn't be able to do anything with it during the week anyhow.

Haha, awesome, you live probably 10 minutes away from me :P

I'm assuming you're replying to the original post which was made like 4 years ago

We usually all meet up at fuddruckers in Columbia every month, you just missed this months, but you should try to make it to the next one.

Olney><????? I'm across the street from the post office! Gimme a call at 301-518-2362!!

I got my new power steering boots on/exhaust....all I need to do is put the new fuel system in/radiator/IC and it'll be startup!

 

i been reading your thread for a while and i kinda wanna make it to ur next fudds meet and see what it is all about. i am about to finish a turbo'd swap in my vert it should be done in the next couple of weeks. i am hoping to have it done by the next meet so i can bring it up.

 

SOUNDS good! all Rotary heads are welcome! hope to see you next month.

 

Damnit, now look at what you guys have gone and done.

 

hey are there any shops in MD that rebuild motors??

 

Peter Farrell Supercars is up in Frederick, MD -- they only do FD's it seems.

Over in Summit Point, WV there's RP Performance -- My FD is currently being rebuilt there and they have all 3 gens of RX7 around the shop...

I don't know about any others.

 

There is also KDR in PA, and Rotary Resurrection in TN if you want to get it done relatively cheap.

 

Rotary Resurrection is gunna be the cheapest no matter where you go. i Got quotes from all the places mentioned above and they wanted $3000+. Rotary resurrection did my car for $2250 + like i think $250-$300 shipping and i got a streetporting, gasket kit, and mazda 3mm apex seal conversion. Btw there quotes didnt include the above.

 

oh ok thanks...yeah my original plan was to ship it to rotary resurrection but my mechanic said it was gonna be expensive to ship but 300 isnt bad. about how long did it take?

 

well i am just getting it back now so it has been like a month and it was $300 as a short block.

 

Any takers? I'd appreciate the help since I really have no idea what I'm doing I'll actually be home all day Friday working on it too...
