I got the parts, lubed up the cam, lightly honed the cylinders, installed the pistons, bolted on the cylinder head, valve cover, oil pan, intake/adapters/Weber (as before, removed as a unit), exhaust manifold, by-pass hoses (new from Mazda).
SETBACKS: front driver caliper and slave cylinder started leaking. I'm away for the weekend, picked up a free replacement slave cylinder, ordered a new lower clutch hose from Rock Auto (none available to be ordered at CarQuest or O'Reillys). Likely get back to it on Tuesday.
