C.Sanchez.A Posted August 11, 2011 Report Share Posted August 11, 2011 Ok so I'm at it again. Except this time I can only do good. I have a 2002 Mazda Protege LX 2.0L with a blown motor. Now, if you can put 2 and 2 together you know where I'm going with this. I want to rebuild it. I want to get as much out of it as I can, while still keeping it road legal... kinda. My problem is I don't exactly know what to do first (after pulling the engine out and stripping it to the block, then cleaning and painting it). Now, before you guys say I'm not experienced enough to be doing this, let me tell you that ''The engine is already finished, I can only do good. If I screw up well, I can just scrap it no big deal.'' I also will be doing this under my uncle (who is a mechanic)'s supervision. I really want to learn these things and write now I don't have the money to go to school. This is the only way I can learn. Any constructive help will be greatly appreciated.

I was planing on getting shops to do the really important technical stuff that needs super precision. I am going to get new pistons and plan on adding a turbo. Converting it to manual (not a priority). I do understand the fact that if I do any thing to the engine it affects other components in the vehicle. Now, when you mention quality parts what companies do you suggest. I will get pictures and such of the the car this Sunday. It's parked at my grand mothers and she lives an hour away. If you need more info just ask.

Crump Posted August 27, 2011 Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 buy a good micrometer, feeler guage, and a decent bore guage, and look up the specs for the motor, itll tell you whether or not you can reuse the parts or need to get them machined down. Check all bearings for scratches, marks etc this could indicate a bigger problem.
