turns out it wasn't starting for a reason that didn't include the 7 year old fuel... i thought L1 was front rotor and L2 rear, so i had em backwards... as soon as i figured that out, it started right up first cranks. but it wasn't without issue... now i find a terrible oil leak, couldn't figure out where it came from, so i got a cardboard box, busted it down, and put it under the car, then started it again... the oil cooler has a pretty massive leak, but i'm not sure exactly where from... called up atkins dan today, i'm gonna get a 86 oil cooler off him for 40 bux, and i'm gonna have some oil cooler lines made at a local hydraulics shop, since i definately can't afford to get them from mazdatrix... anyways on with the vid! its 1 meg, divx with mp3 audio

yay... btw yeah i know i hit 5000 rpm, the bearings aren't new they r the ones that came in the motor, so don't gotta break those in, only thing needing a break in is the apex seals need to seat properly... but all in all it runs real smooth... i couldn't get it to idle any lower than 1500 rpm, but i didn't have long to mess with it...

and yeah, i was on the phone when i recorded this, so u get to hear me sound like a dummy lol

 

you were right. that just means that your timing is off. i had to deal with that on my wifes. took awhile to get it right cause the pulley didn't have the marks right. good luck fixing it.

 

interesting... the pull came with 1 bolt in it from atkins, so i assumed it was right... either way, it was running great before i turned it off and found the oil leak, i guess i'll just leave it, don't think its gonna be an issue
