no spills.
The engine has 12-14K on a reman that was installed when I bought the car. The crappy thing is the car was in the air for while-brakes and dp and went out of warranty in the process. The mazda dealer here in Denton won't cover it. I don't know of other options or people to call to have mazda fix it. And I know all about scary dealer stories, but if I can get them to cover it then I will save a lot of time and money--hopefully.
Rotary Performance quoted $1000 for the front cover and oil pan. I have some more forced vacation next week so I may tackle it then. I am rolling it around in my head. Pay $1000 for job done right or try it my self, cry and cuss, but save money.
How careful do you have to be with the thrust bearings once the cover is off? I have read you need to be careful or you get the chance to rebuild the engine. But how careful do you really have to be? I read to keep the front of the engine in air to help out.
I have tried to read up on the other forum, but any advice or guidance is always welcome.
