Yes we've got a brand new friction washer installed on there and a clean surface all over for the most part. I still have some pieces of old sealant I need to sand off on random places where the cover seals, though. I've got a copy as well as a couple YT vids and I definitely don't see anyone...

Interesting lol. Guess I didn't realize that I even took anything off of the control arm. Want to make sure I am on same page as you. This little sprocket thing circled here is what I am referring to with the marking on it. Based on what you said, that marking should be facing the bottom...

RIGHT. Was expecting to spend quite a few hours on that. Very grateful... Now that is impressive. Maybe one day I'll acquire that skill. Interested in maybe flipping these long term if all of this goes well. Anyway, I will keep that in mind though and likely post a picture or two of some bolts...

By some ungodly miracle, tappet clearance was mint on first go. Starting on the timing chain. Time to figure out where all these bolts went hahaha.

Good to know that they can do all of that. Next time, they can do it all for sure. For now though, I get to learn the hard way. lol.

Appreciate it! Was gonna try to do it today but just gonna torque the head down today and call it because of some more damn rain. Seem to have mixed signals from the interwebs on correct ft lb but ARP showing 70 so sticking with it.

According to this, it is the Tappets that I am referring to that fell out when I flipped the head over. It looks like the caps are stamped to show me where they belong tfg. Looking through that thread it does seem like it's going to be fun. Damnit man

Not much progress this past week. Time has been short and weather has been doo doo. Plus needing to order things I didn't realize I needed such as timing tool and TDC locking pin. I did get some parts shined up, though. Spent a lot of time on the block and cams. I wouldn't say they come shiny...

So bought a built 07 mazdaspeed6 off of marketplace and it has turned into quite the project for someone who has no idea what the hell they are doing. This is my first adventure into the car world and for some random reason I have fallen in love with the damn thing. Doing all of the work in my...

My reluctance is buying a 1200 set of CS injectors as I've been unable to find a single corksport fuel injector. Called CS yesterday and they don't offer them solo but passed my info along to a reseller who may have them. Going to keep looking to find a single one and ultimately I do want to...

Not sure if it's best to open another thread for this or not. I couldn't find anything. Sent my fuel injectors off to be cleaned and I was told that one of them has an irregular spray pattern even after cleaning but the other three were good. Is it safe to run with one that has an irregular...

Music to my ears to know that it was done by one of the best. Do you have anything specific you'd recommend for resonator/catback?

live in page co but for the ticket in sperryville. It was a state boy so no surprise. To be fair it is a little obnoxious I suppose lol. Okay sweet I’ll see what I can figure out. Good to know the cat doesn’t have to go back on and no need to re tune. Sweet seems easy enough. It was tuned by...

Idfk man. It seems fine. I'd say we are good here. Just can't figure out how to mark it solved. I did get a ticket this morning for my exhaust. Virginia is trash. Is there anything that I can do to quiet it down outside of replacing exhaust? has a 3inch vband downpipe straight pipe exhaust...

Lol I'm sorry! I didn't expect you guys to look up those codes! Was just putting them there as a wrap up to the work that's been done and the results. Gonna get an 02 sensor ordered this weekend and that should take care of those two, hopefully. As far as I can tell, throttle bottle is fully...

Definitely so. BUT my engine misfire codes are gone and the car is running better than before so I'm not going to complain too much. If I let it sit and idle for a few minutes I'll start to get a semi heavy white smoke coming from exhaust and will probably look into that next. Codes I started...

Another update. Found an old mazda with the plug needed so that is resolved. Reseated the TPS sensor and cleaned it off and then tried to start the car again with the old injectors in and it started right up with proper throttle response and all. We wiped the old injectors down before...

Okay we got everything back together with the old injectors. Car will start and stay running but something is not right still. If I hit the gas itll top out at a weak 3k rpm. Cobb is showing p0123, 0037, 0222, and 0403. Assume the throttle/pedal position sensor could be relevant to that? I don’t...

Took everything apart again and the injectors we had out in had the metal stuck in it. Got it out and here is a picture. We are going to put the old injectors back in. Something don’t seem right with these.

What exactly is that plug for? Not sure what that is. Can’t find it.
