housings look nice--wonder if they will ever find a way to stop seal skip --not even a crack around the spark plugs--see that carbon buildup in the deadspace on the lead plug hole? That needs cleaning anytime the plug comes out.
getting closer and closer OD |

Hey guys. Do a compression/idle vacuum test on this one before you give it back to Phil please. I'm trying to decide who I want to do my rebuild.

Kane, I'd hate to think that the US Army had to come to his rescue :ar: |
Kane: there's no water in Vegas, you're gonna look awfully silly in your little shorts and a big scuba mask. :rofl:
Phil: hopefully this will be a great birthday gift to yourself |

Did your ears burn? That was me cussing everyone for the delays. I sure hope when Ray is done that your able to get it in quicker :uhh:. My wife is taking bets on New Years day for the return:eek: :crying: :crying: :tear:. I hope not. Ray and Erick have it torn apart now and with luck it should be together and back to you in another week.
(just messing ray :) ) Ray should have the motor back very soon though. |
No water in Vegas..... hey I just spent 15 months in the desert; the water in my canteen is good enough!!!
Didn't know about your birthday Phil - maybe this whole "delay" thing was Ray's way of waiting for the right time to give it back.... LOLZ |

Unless he finds some stuff locally I think that he needs another week to get the stuff in and on the car but it may not effect you. He may be thinking of reassembling the engine and then doing some of the other stuff?:dunno:
We only need to port the irons now and we can start the documentation of the clearances, take better pix of the bearings and such, and reassemble the engine. I forgot to check the side seal clearances during disassembly as the seals were falling out all over the place. I maintain my opinion that Mazda built these things with too much side seal gap from the factory, though. |
