It's starting to look like a motor! everything has been lubed and torqued down. It's finally ready to remove from the stand and bolt a clutch to and drop install!

So you can install the engine without removing the tranny... you do have to unbolt the tranny and angle it upwards.. it was about as fun as running naked thru a briar patch tho. A second set of hands eould have been great!

MAZDASPEED PROTEGE IS BACK IN ACTION! Anyone here have any experience with engine break in? I usually do an easy break in method.. but some people believe in a hard break in to seat the rings properly.
