Hello guys I have just get an ST205 that has been sitting for 6 years. I assume the reason was put aside is the clutch is in bad condition. Before remove the engine and transmission what you guys suggest to have in mind. I 've never had a car that was sitting for so long period of time therefore I need some ideas as to what parts I must have before pulling everything apart. Mainly engine components.
I know I should have: timing belt 2 inner tensioners and the hydraulic one cam seals crankshaft seals front and rear Oil pump seals and gasket thermostat water pump perhaps I will need the valve cover gasket as well alternator -air con belt and tensioner power steering pump, tensioner gearbox and transfer box seals release bearing clutch-pressure plate The engine will be removed from the car therefore I want to change possible causes that may cause issues, especially those which are located in hard to reach areas and would be a pain to be replaced when the engine and transmission is back on the car. Thank you in advance, and looking forward for you suggestions. |

I would add new tires onto the list as well. depending on how it "sat" tires could be old, worn, dried, cracked and would definitely have flat spots on them.

Even if they were off the car, unless they were relatively new and stored in a climate controlled and dark space they're most likely due for replacement. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed
