Getting ready to pull the motor to begin a rebuild on an unfinished car that was mostly done, but i have no idea how many miles are on the motor. i know that it has not been rebuilt at all so i am going to do the complete rebuild on it and send my head to my local race machine shop. i have seen some lists in the spec miata community pinned site but all the links were broken for the actual list.
Thanks
chris

For best result send head to someone that does sm heads on a regular basis. I have known people to have locals do this with poor results.

i have already gone over with my engine builder what the "rules" are for this class and what is "allowed", he has built motors for
me in the past and is very good at what he does.

What list are you refering to, a parts list? or a check list of what to do? Not sure what your question is exactly...

Kyle why do you say to use the old timing belt ??
New timing belt will stretch... old timing belt if its in good shape has already done its stretching. Guess I should also say check that old belt well, if its dry rotted with cracks all over it new belt will be better choice. I guess I always forget you guys are driving cars 10 years older than mine...

All new hoses.
After rebuild is always a GOOD idea to put in a fresh gearbox as well. Hate to ZING a new motor with a missed shift from a crappy slushbox.

ALL NEW HOSE CLAMPS - hate to destroy a great new motor when a tired hose clamp lets go - this one still hurts to this day. It was a really GREAT motor until the f'n radiator clamp let go!
And I was lucky the $1.00 crappy hose clamp didnt kill me in the process - it tried really hard to!

There's an o-ring that gets installed in a recessed ring on the back of the oil pump. It doesn't come with the oil pump. In the exploded diagram of the engine assembly, it's nowhere near the oil pump with a line from it to the pump assembly. It's not mentioned at all in some non-factory shop manuals. Don't forget to put that sucker in. It's a real pain to put in after you find the leak. Also, there's a lead plug in the top of the oil pump where the dipstick goes when the engine is mounted transverse like in the Escort. Make sure the pump has that plug in it.
