Cleaned my JDM pooped on KLZE today
JDM oil for sale
Used 3 cans of Joe Gibbs degreaser, two bottles of Mothers wheel and tire cleaner and one sample bottle of Mothers car wash. It is cleaner then it was before LOL
All looks good except the water pump. It is all kinds of $%^&*@-up. Has about an inch of play in it I was going to replace it anyway though.
Looks like I am a Mazda kool kid now. (it has the "good" cams)
Got it as clean as it is going to get with degreaser and soap, time for some power tools with wire brushes on them.
I am going to paint the engine black, the vavle covers wrinkle black and the intake "as-cast" silver. Looks like another trip to the Mazda dealership is in my future, many of the molded hosed are hard as rock and crumbly. I have a multi-pack of black Vibrant silcone vaccum hose to put on it too.
I ordered up a new manifold emblem too

I have all new seals for the transmision, so the old seals got a coat of paint. A new release bearing is also going in. I drained all the water out of the trans, it will be flushed with clean fluid and get fresh synthetic fluid very soon, so no worries.
The engines old timming belt, timming components and water pump all got painted, but they too are all being repalced The engine had clean rags in all the open holes.

Worked on the car for a few hours today.
I put a new timing belt and tensioner and a water pump on the KLZE today.
Got a few goodies today too
New clutch master line.
I got a 15" line, it is a little long, Russel does sell 13" lines too.
Got a new thermostat today too.
This part will easily add 20 horsepower
I got all new bushings for the sub frame and new engine mounts also. (All from the Mazda dealer).Last edited by IMACHU2; 07-06-2011, 12:43 PM.Dominic Toretto rocks a MaZda and his cell phone number starts in "(323)"
