have my engine ported, a nice sized street port. I live on the east coast in mass. any recomendations for a good shop or person? thanks

 

$300 is the average price if you are going to have the engine rebuilt at the same time which is recommended since you will already have the engine out.

 

is that price with the rebuild or is the rebuild much more then that, how much would the parts cost for the rebuild?

 

Rebuilds depend on the place. You can buy the entire kit at atkins for around $900 and do it yourself. Or have yours rebuilt for about 2.1k or even buy a rebuilt engine for around 3.5k.



For ports you might want to add $300 to all of the ebove prices. If you know about this stuff then you can buy a template fr a couple of bucks and do that yourself.

 

how hard is it to rebuild your own engine, if you buy the mazda repair manual does that make it alot easier or do you just have to do it and learn that way?

 

depends how much time you have and mechanical skill.

 

i've got all the time in the world, my car isn't going anywhere...i've worked at the local toyota as a lube tech for about 5-6 months now, i've helped out alot with the stuff they have going on there. one kid there rebuild his 1.6 in his honda and another guy there rebuild a 427 for his truck. so myself...i'm still learning but if i needed help i have alot of people to go to at work and here on the forum

 

you might want to buy the Rotary Rebulid video from Atkins Rotary. Would be a good place to start.. i think its $30 and you can watch the entire rebulid process as well as use it as a guide. having the shop manual will be necessary.. but you can find that online.

 

i'll start looking for the manual then. and i'll pick up the video before i do anything are there any special tools needed to rebuild the motor?

 

yes there are special tools.. but mainly normal tools.. you'll need a torque wrench.
