will this motor fit in my mx3 http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/pts/2036729712.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or should i just get new heads

you want a mx6 motor not a mazda 6. use the search theres tuns of info on this site.

wel money is tight and thought it might work but ill keeo searching for a new motor if anyone can help it would be very helpful

Motor swap options if you have a V6:

1.8L V6 - Mazda Mx-3
2.5L V6 - Mazda Millenia, Mx-6 and 626. Ford Probe

If you want anything else, it's custom work and expensive. With money being tight, those above are you're only options

well i started to pull the heads today and heres what i find




anbody help plz im trying to get these heads off so i can get heads redone being humble but im beggin lol any help would be great

eww those are some dirty cams... you dont have any cheap klde or even k8s in your area? itd probably cost you alot less then getting your motor fixed up. i got my k8 for under $200 with 135k on it...

i have been able to find any id love a klze but moneys tight and im only one working in my household im spendn my morgage money to fix my car

oh well once its rebuilt youll know to change your oil more often eh?

EDIT. your not looking hard enough, i found atleast 3 klde motors on craigslist in your area...

those guys have tuns of different ads with motors that will drop right into your car without any modification give them a call im sure it wont cost as much as you think... it was said before 2.5l mx6/probe gt/626/millenia are easy swaps and will gain you 40hp over the stock 1.8

just one prob i have no cherry picker and engine stand and i dont have a way to transport the motor and i woulnd know where to begin

that car has alredy been crushed they only hold cars for 2 week then crush em

engine hoists can be rented for fairly cheap. i transported my motor in the back of a van. im sure you know someone with a van or truck you could borrow for a couple hours. motor swaps aren't as hard as you would expect. there is a large learning curve but with enough time/research im sure you could figure it out. it took me about 4 days to get everything out then back together and i had no idea what i was doing. i did however have SOME help from someone who did. in the end its up to you. if you think its a better idea to try and clean out the one you got the put it back together who am i to judge...

good luck i hope you get her back on the road soon.

yeh me too i need to for work lol

any links for removing heads with pics plz ive looked all over for some
