RE: Let's do the engine!!!

Decided to change my MZ3 3.25 LSD to a 2.93 LSD to support my future plans



And dismantle to inspect

Bench

Hey what work bench is that?

The one with my engine parts are on? It's just a Costco foldable table

[Kershaw]

No, but that's as high as the car can go due to the ceiling. You need a 12' ceiling for max height on that lift. He has a ~8'6" ceiling.

Going through this thread I laughed at my comment on not giving up on my rx8. 2 years later I sold it to fund redoing my bathroom in the house I had purchased in the mean time.

Good build and good luck with the engine.

RE: Let's do the engine!!!

So first thing is first. lets fix the culprit of the overheating cause... the FAN!!!
Going to upgrade to the spal straight... which is apparently the strongest fan I can fit with 2,036 cfm!!! Perfect for that hot day with the A/C on.







Perfect clearance even with the condenser behind it

Zf320

Was there significant wear on the pins?
My trans has trouble shifting into reverse. Really takes a lot of force to get to the reverse "gate"

Yes, mine was the 5th... The pin for 5th was stuck in the bore... I decided to replace all serviceable pins around the transmission and now every gear feels smooth and notchy!!
