I thought I should write up a project thread now seeing as I now am a part of the Mazda family again. 
So I am the now proud owner of a ba sedan that I bought off “Austdave” about two weeks ago. Since buying it I also got some spares with it too including a nice low km motor, so the first thing on my list was to swap out the old motor for the low km one. Well after 5 days of working on it, multiple cuts and scars but it’s now running  much better than the old engine, which had a little valve stem seal issue.

Before putting the engine in I stripped it down (it was already half way stripped already) to just the block and head and replaced all the seals i.e., cam shaft seals, crack seal, intake, exhaust, dizzy ring, the water pump was replaced, new thermostat, new rear main oil seal, new timing belt and tensioner’s. The only thing I didn’t swap was the head gasket.








can anyone see what i did here??? lucky i had a spare







Here’s were I’m at so far with the build, there was a little issue with the rear muffler that somehow got a massive hole in it after Dave touch the car hoist lol but it’s ok as I didn’t like the light truck muffler anyway and was going to replace it with a new twin tip muffler.

I had some issues with a rattle gun as well, itself combusted in my hands when I was trying to remove the rear wheels off the car ow well



As you can see here the original after market muffler was made pretty averagely with this nice chunk of metal in the way. The air grinder and air dermal too quick care of that 




Due to the rear muffler being broken I removed and the exhaust flange off it to use on the new muffler.



and this is the first start of the engine after i got the timing right
