Thanks Brian for the tips.

Well yesterday I finsihed cleaning all my small parts to include stat gears, thrust bearings, chain, ect ect

I did watch the mazdatrix video and it did have some helpful tips but in no way is a video manual(they even claim that it is not a manual on the dvd cover). BUT it did have some cool tricks and tips that I didn't know...for example lapping by hand, basically putting two of the irons on top of eachother with some valve grinding goo in between. Rotate for an hour or so and you are lapping pretty accurate. The machine is WAy faster but for anyone that is cheap and your iron wear is very small might be worth a try.

I also found some inspection material useful and helped identify my oil pump casing as bad. It had two scars on the inside. I have a shit load of extra pumps so I found a 2-2 pump in great shape and swapped the case. **I had no idea there were two pump types: 1-2 and 2-2, one has a thicker center oil journal while the other is half the thickness.


All I am waiting on now is the front iron. BDC said it looks in great shape and I should have it by sat or mon. I am gonna order some new OCR springs since mine are unidentifiable and for shits and giggles order some new side seal springs too.
