I still check in here once in a while... It was worth it for me to get it working again since I used it as a daily driver (also resale value). I did the work myself and so the cost/benefit ratio...

I think Jim got it right on. If you factor out age and mileage, these cars are certainly no worse in terms of reliability compared to other cars in the class. Having dabbled in old British sports...

Here are a couple photos. The 16 valve binder is empty. I can't remember but apparently the 16 valve content was extra.

Mazda, the term 'volumes' is used because Porsche breaks down the manual into separate parts; engine, electrical, body, etc. The were printed in 1988 and cover all NA cars. I think they printed...

Sounds like a good deal. It generally ends up going for around $20 for a 14 oz. can on Fleabay.

Installing the head before setting the #1 piston to TDC is O.K. as long as you don't install the cam tower with it (all valves are closed with cam tower removed). Rotate the crank slowly until you...
