(A bit about the engine and everything I have ready to replace.)
It is a 1.8 vvt engine paired with a <2001 6 speed manual transmission.
The engine came from JDM Engine Depot.
I guess it’s from Japan? Who knows.
Unknown miles but the engine DOES run, idle, sound healthy etc.
Since I don’t know the mileage I got all the parts listed below as peace of mind/ preventative maintenance.
Engine front to back, Top to bottom I have
• Oil cap seal
• vvt solenoid seals, gasket & filter
(+ Copper washers for vvt pipe/bolt)
• Pcv valve
• Cas cap (rear exhaust side)
• Throttle body gasket
• Upper + lower intake manifold gasket
• Exhaust manifold gasket
• Front and rear coolant neck gaskets
• QMax reroute kit from 949 racing
• Water pump, Timing belt, valve cover kit from FM
• Intake & exhaust cam seals
(+ vvt plate seal & screws)
• Crank bolt + woodruff key (from Miata Depot)
• Front + rear main seal
(Front main from Flying Miata, Rear main from NAPA)
• Front and rear oil pan seals
(Fel-pro half moon seals from Flying Miata)
• Oil dipstick seal + pickup tube gasket
• Drain plug
• IL Motorsport engine mounts from Flying Miata
Transmission front to back I have
• Exedy light weight flywheel & clutch
(New flywheel & pressure plate bolts from Miata Depot)
• Pilot bearing + throwout bearing
• Input shaft seal + gasket maker
• New fill + drain plugs
• Shifter rebuild kit for <2001 6 speed
• Output shaft seal
• Exedy master + slave cylinder
What else might I need to get before I start?
Side note: I am reusing my old stock injectors from my original engine. They have 142k miles.
I did replace the o rings but Should they be replaced entirely or run them until they quit?
Thanks in advance!
