  1. Engine / Drivetrain
    I have a 2004 Mazda 6s wagon and I've heard so many different people say different things about this being possible and not insanely expensive. My question is, are the engine mounts the same? Do you have to rewire as much as people say? Is it worth it? And pls don't tell me to just buy a new...

    I have a 2015 Mazda 6 with the manual trans. I just hit 200K and the thermostat stuck and overheated. In turn it blew the head gasket. Don't know the extent of the damage yet. Just towed it to the shop today. It already has a newer trans in it. About 80K by now. I was considering the...

  6. 3.0L V6
    I’ve got a 2006 Mazda 6 with the 5 speed transmission. About July of 2020 I threw a rod. Finally got a 3.0 out of a 2003 Ford 500 with 113,000 miles. I dropped the new motor in without changing anything except the flywheel and clutch not knowing anything between the motors. I have had the car...

    Hello dear Mazda enthusiast. Me and my buddy is working on swapping a 2.0L(LF) engine for a 2.3L(L3) engine, we've swapped all electrical components that make sense to swap (Engine wiring, ECU, BCM, immobilizer / key recognizer, light unit and speedometer) everything seems right and almost...

    So, I own a 2005 Mazda 6 with a 3.0L. I'm putting an engine in it. The new engine is out of a 2007 Mazda 6 3.0. The oil pan on the new engine isn't allowing my exhaust to mate up with the front manifold. Can I just swap the old oil pan onto it? Or is the bolt pattern different. Any help would be...

    Hey everyone! I’m working on pulling the engine out of my ‘05 3.0L and I was wondering what the best points are to use to lift the engine up and out (without the transmission). Anything besides lifting it by the manifolds, which I’ve seen in other places. Thanks in advance!

    IS the 2004 3.0L V6 DOHC 24V engine compatible with the 2006 model? My timing chain jumped a couple teeth, and my valves are smashed, I found a GREAT deal on a 2004 Mazda6 V6 3.0 engine. Can I put the 2004, into my 2006? Also, the '04 is Automatic, and My '06 is the 5speed.
