Started taking apart my spare BP05 that I picked up for $50 about a week ago.
This is going to be the motor I build up as my "Fun" motor.
The head is currently out at the machine shop getting blasted and the valve guides knocked out (they were frozen in the head). Then I'm bringing it back and doing a full port-match and polish.
I'm also working on a G series transmission at the same time with a Mazdaspeed Protege welded LSD with new 5th gears.
Here are the pics so far:
Taking out the valve keepers with a tool I made out of pipe from the fish-pond filter system lol
Clamp the valve spring clamp almost as hard as you can clamp it. Then give the retainer a whack with a wooden dowel or a 12mm socket dropped down the pipe, then hit by a wrench. The keepers have been sitting there for so long that they are almost fused with the retainers (since 1992 in this case).
Keepers....
Retainers....
Spring....
and Valve.
The Valve Spring Seat is taken out the easiest with a Magnetic Pick-up Wand.
They will be stuck down with oil and suction.
An abused motor I'd say. Disgusting. I'm not going to be re-using any of these valves. Otherwise...keep them in order to what port they came from.
HLA #3 on the Exhaust side is destroyed. It stopped rotating at some point in it's life and has a severe groove ground into it's surface from the cam lobe. It's got the X on it in the pic
Everything is out. Including all the manifold studs. The head is at the machine shop getting all cleaned and the guides out. Then I'll post more pics of that.
================================================== ====
Here is the bag of goodies for the G Transmission that i got from Mazda yesterday.
Both of these LSD's are getting fully welded and will be getting speedo seats machined into them.
They are out right now at "WeirTech Industries" in Burlington Ontario. Reason why I have 2 LSD's is because one if for a ZX2 buddy of mine.
Stay tuned!~
