All Of The Above

Have you ever needed to access the service menu on your TV for something as simple as enabling a HDMI port? You take the time to call the manufacturer just to hear a bunch of garbage about how you need to "call a qualified service technician for that". Well, I and many others have been in this same situation which is sort of lame since you OWN the TV in the first place and should be able to enable/disable or screw up whatever settings you want. Note: If you do not know what you are doing in the service menu, you can screw up your TV. In any case, here are a list of service menu codes/procedures so YOU too can enable your HDMI ports. (Philips...what were you thinking!) Vizio With power off, hold Ch UP and Ch Down together for 10 seconds. While still holding Ch up and down together, push power, then let go. Select OSD button, there should be a letter in the lower right hand corner of the menu. Then hold OSD and Mute/Exit buttons together until factory menu comes up. Make a...

Intro - Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Parts List - Final Below I have listed practically every part I had ordered for the rebuild of my 13B engine as well as any additional parts that were upgraded/replaced as well. All of the "xxxx-xx-xxx" part numbers towards the top are Mazda specific part numbers which can of course be found at your local dealership or online if you take the time to look. Minus the extras listed at the bottom (transmission, radiator, vacuum line, motor mounts, oil pan brace, etc.), the engine rebuild alone cost around $2,000. Since I did the job myself and saved on labor costs, I was able to put that savings back into the car with reliability mods/upgrades as well as replace additional items like brittle coolant/air hoses, gaskets, oil injector lines, etc. These items are typically overlooked when doing just a core rebuild however I can be certain that if a part was bad or had potential for failure, then it was replaced.

Intro - Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Parts List - Final It has been a while since my last post due to a touch of procrastination...then the holidays ended up creeping in on us. In this posting I am going to go over some engine rebuild notes as well as some of the reliability mods I had installed in hopes to prevent the issue which prompted this rebuild in the first place. First off, a lot of the links I had provided in my previous rebuild postings are to websites/videos that really helped me so I suggest you check those out. Below I am also including additional links to specific videos/procedures which I had used during my rebuild. 1. Installing heavy duty water seals http://www.rebuildingrotaryengines.com/videos/heavy_duty_water_seals A lot of people use gasket sealant around the outside of the motor housing water jacket. I however, opted not to gum up the entire motor with sealant as it is completely unnecessary. If you take your time cleaning your housings and verifying...
