The intake camshaft gear snapped off, destroying both the gear and the cam... not sure why this hapened yet...
Here is the first camshaft cap on the front head... you can see where the intake cam side looks great... but not so much on the exhaust side...

Not really sure what I want to do with it yet... Kinda torn between parting it out and putting a regular 2.5 in it that has been freshened up with maybe a nice set of cams...
Now I have 3 mazdas... 2 down...

Wow, never seen that garbage before. It was probably better off with a DE anyways.

Well that sux. Good thing is if you decide to part you've got enough there to recover what you have in it. I'd probably drop a ZE in it....KLZE. That motor was so clean.Dale's twenny18 Lineup:

Yea but ZE's have their own bag of issues. If I don't part it out I will go with a a-spec 2.5L and clean up the heads. Maybe add ZE cams if I find some cheap. I just have to find a good 2.5 nowLots of cars... none of which are a Probe...Comment

I found a few more KF-ZE's for around $600... I'm probably yankin this one tuesday (provided I get my hoist back) so we'll see whats up then... I'm thinking that is the best way to go since I can pick the best parts off of both motors and sell the other stuff and make up a big chunk of my expense...)
We shall see... I don't know if the KF-ZE if an interference engine though... might be in for some 240esque carnage... sumr... i'm lookin at you...
