That's because ol' Ray has a modified FD with freaking nitrous, I've ripped through the Tail of the Dragon with him and he's a wild man

 

very nice. i would love to work there also.

 

I can this............ Ray is the man,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,the only guy I deal with

 

I received my new engine from Malloy last week. Whats with the jelly like oil all over the engine? What is the best way to clean this stuff?

 

are you dropping it in as-is?

 

I bought one of these. Mine will be installed in the coming months. Once IRP is done doing their magic.

 

I am keeping the stock ports, and did the thermal pellet oil mod. I am now waiting on my aspec GT35R kit.

 

Hey congrats! I got mine back in September and AFAIK, it's cosmoline to help protect it from the elements.

 

Spray it with engine bright foam cleaner & wipe it off with a clean shop rag.

Then spray it with some WD-40 and re-wipe it down with paper towles.

It will look clean, have a protective coating and look nice.

And won't feel greasy...

That's what I did to afgmoto1978's engine before cracking open with the boys.

 

I will try that. Did you paint the irons or leave them as is?

 

New irons look nice and clean.

Let your engine bay look brand new for a while.

We left the irons unpainted.

 

WD and a rag is what I used on mine. Ray was really great to deal with. Are you shipping back your core? I shipped him my core and even told him it was ported with 3mm seals, bad bearings, etc. he said "Well that's Mazda's problem, not mine."

My shop charged $1300 for the swap and did a great job. The motor had a completely stable idle (no wandering) and felt smooth since mile 1. Until of course i bungled some wiring, but the motor is great

 

Yep. The core is boxed and ready to go back. I will drop it off friday at the shipping company.

 

Ha you know you shouldn't post that your core engine is not in factory condition, now I cant approve your core...... totally jk, we haven't touched those engines and honestly they are pretty much not even touching the rx7 engines still. Its not even up to our facility to decide if its a good core or not, if its too obvious we have to take a picture and email it to the people who decide but honestly the supervisors are checking those engines in now and they don't have training on the rx7 engines and how to tell them apart. They got another shipment in of the same engines from japan since I sorta posted that we had them, they sold a few more then they expected although I didn't mention that I told some people about them online. In the end they make money off selling them to the dealer and you get a new engine so they shouldn't be mad if I told them that I told the world we had them. And yes that is a protective sorta grease on the engines, they were after all shipped by boat I believe with our part shipments we get.
