Well, I drove home today and started hearing some weird howling noise under the hood and popped it once I got home. Oil is Everywhere! This engine is done. so I think its best to park it till the swap to save it from any further damages.
Looks nasty!Mazda

Update!
Ran into a few roadblocks, but nothing that couldnt be fixed with throwing alot of money at it. I ended up getting new rods and pistons. Got a set of Forged pistons and a set of Eagle H Beam (?) forged rods. About an extra $900 in parts I didnt want to spend, but on the other hand, cant say I mind. I was going to do Forged internals anyways.
I also decided since Im doing this, I will slowly put together a bigger turbo setup. Im going to aim for 350 to 400 WHP. Of Course this will require an aftermarket engine management system. Any thoughts on a good turbo for this kind of goal?Mazda
