An easy way to remove pilot bearings without damaging is packing grease into the void, and then using the alignment tool, and lightly tap it with a hammer, and it will hydraulic the bushing, or bearing out. Great video.
While I appreciate the shout out in the video description I must criticize your technique for assembling the motor. People have had motors fail for being assembled more meticulously than you have here. Both crank diamond washers should be replaced, the crank pulley should always be countered when torqueing, and you never touch the diamond washers on the faces! Please go review my instructions and videos more in depth to help improve your future methodology.
@@IOTWVUVWTOI It wasn’t a shout out so much as they blatantly copied and pasted from the document I wrote about how to 2.5 swap and inadvertently had my info in it. 🫠
I agree with the fluid changes. I like to get on my car every once in a while. I don't track it. But I know cause the way I like to drive I need to be on top of fluid changes. Every 3K.
Thanks for the video, but there is too much shortcuts... there is two washers because one goes behind the oil pump sprocket, bolts are torque to yield, you are supposed to put a new one... you are lucky you didn't bent the timing tool or cracked the timing cover with the bolt while timing it (there is a tool to keep the damper from spinning), etc, etc :(
It hurts my eyes.... Using impact gun for tightening crank pulley that is hold in place only by positioning bolt .... best way how to destroy your timing cover. That M6 bolt screwd into aluminium cover is not suposed to hold that in place but only set position. You have to hold it against tightening force by tool. Also use new crank bolt everytime its TTY bolt non reusable.
Which dipstick should be used? The 2.0 or 2.5? Amazing write up in your description by the way. I saved it for near future use! Thanks for the vid/info!! Super helpful!
All in what price range would be reasonable for this job and that’s including additional kits? This is assuming a shop like yours completes the project.
I've been seeing anywhere from 1500 to 3000 for labor. An engine is like 300-1000 depending on where ya get it. All in conservative estimate with bits and bobs, top end is probably 5k.
Why do you hate royal purple. I’m on my third Mazda on the way to 300,000 miles in my passenger car with 10k oil changes. I just replaced the valve cover gasket at 160k and my motor still looks almost new . I don’t track my car though. Just run it up and down the highway everyday.
There are some differences in doing a 1.8l versus the 2.5l. Brandon is not sure just what the differences are but he's gonna do a bit of research to find the procedure.
Remember folks, oil is cheaper than a new engine.
Yea wish i knew this before lmao
@@earl8590 knowing is half the battle
I wish I could find room in my life to own a Miata.
You can. I couldn't and I did. Best decision I have ever made.
That’s a nice looking 69 Firebird behind you 😎
Great video
That was informative. Thanks for the video, bro.

Dipstick (Mazda PE07-10-450)
How much to swap this into my b2200? I’m in Tucson!
This swap costs $5600 but you would need more work for mounts, custom hoses and all the wiring/ecu from a Miata .
Not to mention a transmission
@@brandonwelsh2743
$5600? It's a $300 engine and doesn't even need new mounts
Dang! Not as simple or quick swap as other ppl are showing in other videos 😱
I can’t wait to do this
Thanks for an informative video as always!
And thank you for your support. It is greatly appreciated.
I exclusively use royal purple in my tracked 2.5 swap. Not listening to the haters, its never failed me once.

Looks like these cranks need a pin kit ala the LS with a blower...

So, the Miata transmission just bolts up?
Not saying you're wrong... But its a positional torque value, not 76-90 as a range to be within?! 76 being minimum, 90 max?
Hey, sorry maybe I missed it but better ask twice, do you need ecu from 2.5l engine ?
Use the ECU from the Miata but be sure to get it tuned for the 2.5 👍
bro why you don't use diesel oil? it's far better than petrol oils. I always use castrol or shell 5w40 diesel oils
Interesting....
What year 2.5 engine did you use?
does anyone know if this 2.5l swap would have about the same process if it was in place of a 1.8l instead?
or would it even work or fit ?
There are some differences in doing a 1.8l versus the 2.5l. Brandon is not sure just what the differences are but he's gonna do a bit of research to find the procedure.
Why is this more popular than a 2.0 eco boost though?
Why the hate on Royal Purple?
Never seen anything good from it, most of the time engines run worse with it in them. I’ll only use Royal purple to cool drill bits.
Torque wrench need not appy..
That's an ecoboost water pump.
From the 2.3’s? That makes sense.
@@brandonwelsh2743 yep, pn EJ7Z-8501-H
What year eco boost water pump
@@champjames969 2016 will work
Really? If that's the case, thank you for mentioning here?
Awesome video, very informative!!
