    TOPLINE engine rebuild kits opinions?

    Hello,

    Topline offers a rebuild kit for the BP
    Im not sure if mazda offers one themselves, but the topline kit seems to be everwhere I look

    does anyone have any experience with it?

      I rebuilt my motor with a topline kit, it was awesome. It had everything you need parts-wise.
      94 Protege DX. Custom Intake. Kartboy Short Shifter. Grant GT Steering wheel. Shift knob and boot. Autometer tachometer and air/fuel ratio gauge. Eibach Pro-Kit and Tokico ZX2 Struts. Fog lights. Assorted neon lights. Rebuilt motor.

        standard size bearings should be good enough unless you completely ****ed your engine.... the crank is very strong (high carbon steel).... the journals should need no regrinding unless it is out of round or very scored... becareful when buying bearings from places like ebay... a lot of times they are undersize bearings!
        when i was asking for opinions on the TOPLINE kit, i actually wasnt wondering if its any better than oem, more so i wanted to know if it was of any worse quality than oem.

        because the topline rebuild kit price wise, is cheaper than buying all the equivalent stuff from the dealership... so i wanted to know if its good parts, or if im just being cheap even considering swaying from OEM

          How much is a topline kit? Is there a SOHC kit?
