Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and I was sent here by ALIAN3t of mocc forum in hopes that you guys would know more about my 323.
I have 2 1988 mazda 323 gtx's one of which is a parts car and the other which is my daily. I bought these cars a year ago to restore and I just got the nice one together and now motor problems. The car has only 88k origanal miles, and dispite my best efforts continues to have oil problems. The valve train is loud as hell, and it seems like every inch of the motor is just dry. It has new oil pump,which I changed 3 times thinking it was faulty, new oil,I tryed all different weights, new oil filter and lines. The motor runs fine and doesn't smoke(although loading up under boost I think due to knock sensor thinking its detonating cuz the motor is so clanky,with the ocasional loud rod knock sound,but only somtimes.has brand new 91 oct. Shell gas and timing is dead on,both valve timing and spark.). At idle the oil press light comes on so I. Stoped driving it. I have no idea what's the problem. My parts 323 has a bad motor so I can't use that.(preveous owner didn't tighten rod cap and blew a rod through the block). Parts are hard as hell to find and my local mazda dealer said the car doesn't exist ha so I have no clue what to do. I am only 20 and on a strict budget but any ideas would be appriceated.the car is stock minus a full 3in turbo back and air filter. Never overboosted, never driven hard. If anything does anyone know where to get a b6t long block? Or bpt? Thanks guys
