    Motor is being torn down this week and I'm going to be calling a few shops for machine quotes.

    Oh and this arrived.

    Learn from me. Don't use a machine shop that doesn't specialize in mazdaspeed.

    Mine did not specialize at all but were very old school and knowledgeable guys. Just make sure to give them the critical points you want right such as PWC and ring gap specs and stuff.

    The timing procedure printed also helped my builder along with any quirky places that need rtv that they wouldn't know like we do. This is just my advice :)

    I have a builder. He has 3 Mazdaspeeds currently and knows these cars well. He just doesnt have the boring tooling.

    None touch 4 cylinders. 1 is gm only and said hi.

    I have 2 potential shops. 1 is recommended but way less. The other is way more money. Ugh. Partout.

    Can't you have someone just bore the cylinders and do the assembly yourself?

    Engine teardown going well. Head gasket was old and covered in muck. Valves and pistons were coated in oil. So it was time.
