Engine Rebuild Information Needed

So instead of throwing in the SB this year I sold it and am rebuilding the stock 2.2L

Is there anything I should look out for when trying to accomplish this feat

I know I am going to be throwing on a Weber and a Sanden 708 converted to an EDC

Which Weber is best for these little guys

And any other info would be GREATLY appreciated

Thanks in advance

are you going to get the head rebuilt as well? if so try and get the maual lifter assy installed from the 2.0 head. or just get a 2.0 head. you will love it so much more. whenever the lifters start ticking you just pull the valve cover and adjust them. takes like 10 minutes. also, make sure to get new head bolts. i got mine from this place... http://headbolts.com/mazda.html . they will save you a lot of money. as for the weber, i don't remember which is best i think it is like the 32/36 or something like that. i bought a redline carb for mine, it is basically a weber though.

r u going mild build or stock build? i have the 32/36 i am .40 over all new internals and header. and opened up exaust. i wish i would've went 34 weber due to these upgrades.

im using a 32/36...but mne is not running yet. this carb is for a mild build with fuel econmy.

Where would someone like me get something like this



Dev

you can go to your local junkyard. and get the head reworked and stuff to be safe. or you can use your head. and go to mazdatruckin.com. he has links for the assembly and rockers etc. everything you need to do it. and find a 2000 cam and install yourself

junkyard will have them. i think summit racing had them. www.importperformanceparts.com. check with these guys

This is all bolt on correct



Dev

yeah, it is all bolt on. i actually have another assy. i think it is all complete, just needs to be cleaned up. i will check in a little while.

here it is...

A friend of mine swapped a 2200 head onto a 2000 block ( the exact opposite of what we have talked about above), and had all kinds of over heating issues. Maybe just a fluke... never done this swap b4. I've had like 6 mazdas now and never really thought about doing this. Weren't all valve assemblies adjustable up to 89 though? That would include some 22's.

Well I just got the manual lifter assy today, so we will see what happens in a month or so when the tear down begins?

Dev

ever find you seal kit?

if not, did you check mizuniauto.com? found a cheap rebuild kit. like $90

why do i always leave an "r" off of "your" when I type it?
so aggrivating...

just think with your pirate sense then

RRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

well guys im doing the swap as we speak. ill have a complete how-to on the hydro to mechanical lifter and cam swap in a few days

cool post it in the tech article section...
cant wait to see it.
