Hi Phil, Sorry it took a little longer on my part to get your engine pulled. I cant wait to get the motor back and installed for you. Oh yeah my name is Karl and im the one that works at the stealership that pulled your motor.

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 . My wife is taking bets on New Years day for the return . 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.

Your right there but I keep telling my wife one more week and after all this time with all the delays I find it hard to argue with her. I think I picked a bad time to lose compression. Had this all happened a little later I am confident that he would have completed it in a timly manner.

That would be nice as Friday after (next day) is my birthday. And he tells me that he is bringing Michelle with him. I think that she is just a figment of his imagination. He never brings her to Vegas. .
Kane, I'd hate to think that the US Army had to come to his rescue

Kane: there's no water in Vegas, you're gonna look awfully silly in your little shorts and a big scuba mask.
Phil: hopefully this will be a great birthday gift to yourself

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.
