Well update day one: 2.0 engine and tranny and wiring harnesses out, figured out a lot of things for the ze engine going in . Tomorrow hopefully get the ze out and back into the other car or at least close.....

good to read that. How did todays progress go? I'm still sick, I won't be able to make it

[desertfox1313]

Engines are out.... still working... your engine was shit yo...... i mean jesus harold christ... kinked coolant lines etc etc hahaha... its bad... *shudder*
gonna work awhile longer have the ze basically ready to go in, having to replace the cradle however due to a crossthreaded bolt... (impact wrenching.... bad)

LOL Did someone swap out the suspension while you guys were doing the engines? Also is deyan getting the Goddridge G-Stop lines or will the stock lines from his base work with the rear discs? I wish I could have made it. Oh well

[desertfox1313]

suspension being swapped... the ss lines been on my car a long time. And he is not getting rear discs because my old lines were shot (hence replacing them with the gstops) and i must have thrown them away rather then keep the pos's. But seriously... there was a lot of wierd shit on that car.....

Just rolled in. Unloaded my car of the serious stuff. Had a burrito. Read some email. Checked in with SCPOC. Sorry I am missing Sunday guys. I was really looking forward to some more hardcore wrenching.

not but sick I don't know WTF is wrong with my stomache. maybe the stomache flu I would have come if not for this I was looking forward to it for weeks

Trevor, what do you mean by alot of weird shit on that car?

[desertfox1313]

Like.... a chunk outa the crankshaft pulley, ghettofabulation everywhere... the entire flucking vacuum system was run incorectly... on one solenoid the house went into it on one part... the other side had no hose... and the vent had a hose coolant lines were kinked cause they were the wrong size.... etc etc...

[Nechronius]

Chavez had to redo a lot of the vacuum lines. It was a bit... Messy.

One of the coolant lines was kinked pretty bad too. I won't mention the distributor cap incident.

A good learning experience though. I haven't been that close up with a DE/ZE block before and certainly not working on one pulled out of an engine bay.

Geeeez that bad huh? Oh well that's what you get for having Engine Depot do it. I won't go there again. That explains why my stock tranny blew up on them when they took it out to test it. As for the vacume lines I just took one line off at a time and replaced it, untill all were done. I just copied what was already done. I did'nt install the old factory lines. Now I wish that I downloaded the vac lines diagram.

The only ghetto fabbing I did was the rear sway bar endlinks and that was a very long time ago. waaaaay b4 the ZE was installed. It was a quick fix and it worked fine so I never got new ones.


What about the distributor cap? That distributor was brand new it was installed by a mazda specialist at Rotech auto service in Temple City. It was put in about a month b4 the accident. So there should be nothing wrong with it.
