I'm having my B6-ZE re-honed and the block deck shaved due to being warped. Does anyone know the max I can shave before I have issues with the lifters? Also on the front of the block it has BF Cast on it, What does the mean?

I'm still undesided on the turbo. I was just looking at how much i can pull from this motor on a N/A build. I have the turbo just sitting in the garage so i might just put it on.

Tampa here, Anyone ells?

I called them and the guy said it was per pistion.

I dunno if there's something special about NPR rings, but rockauto has a special on them for 32, which is pretty cheap.

or 50 for chrome moly rings from rock products (they make fantastic quality equipment)

Well, i thought i burnt most of the oil while driving it around and when i pulled the drain plug my head was a lil to close and i got a head full of oil. Not sure were i seen it but will the Miata pistons fit the MX3 B6 block? Also would that give me 10-1 compression?

Thanks for the help....

Has anyone tried quad throttle bodies on the MX3? After removing the heavy monster intake on the b6, I would think some weight could be saved and obtain better performance. I did one years ago on a Swift GTI, And it worked better than I thought. I also found a free very detailed repair manual for th...

The pressure switch was good, the drop in pressure was do to the bad rings.

After some busted fingers and lots of oil in my hair "don't ask". 3 of the 4 pistons need new rings. I plan to buy the NPR OEM sized rings. I'm shocked that the person that had the car before me had complete re manufactured head and did nothing when the pistons clearly needed attention. Gu...

I just took a pic of the inside of the port. http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m30/ttgoth/th_mx3engine056.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m30/ttgoth/th_mx3engine052.jpg" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; http://s1...

Ouch, well glad it broke now. It would suck to find a problem like this AFTER a turbo install. Thanks for the info, when i pull the head off and get a better view i will post some pics of the problem.

OK, well i checked the oil pump and its fine. The head gasket is also fine. I pulled the exhaust manifold off and found oil in only one of the exhaust ports. I then checked the timing belt and it's brand new. My question is, If a timing belt breaks while driving will it bend the valves on the B6 mot...

I just checked mine they are all at the same hight, and they are all high up like yours. If they were at different heights I would think there might be a problem. But I am also burning oil so I might have a problem my seals.

I just got a 95 with a 4 cylinder for free. It drives but has a knock and the oil light comes on and off. In most cars i have worked on that tells me the oil pump is clogged or going bad. Would this be the case in a MX3? The engine is completely oil free and cleaner than my 08 Suzuki SX4. I also nee...
