Ok, Ive got a 1990 fc3s which i believe is running the 13bt with the intercooler mounted on the top. Im not en engine man nor a mechanic (which is a shame) lol, but i need to get to know the layout of the engine better etc, is there anyone out there that has labelled diagrams or pictures of the layout of the engine so I know what im looking at? For example thermostat location, what each of the pulleys are for etc etc as Im a newbie but I need to get to know how how maintain the car better etc
Might be good as a sticky for nebies aswell?
Thankyou guys
Found a good link with the full engine manual on it, anyone got anything else?
best thing is to spend hours and hours and read all the posts on this forum !!!! seriously though buy a couple of good books and also buy a cd which has all the manuals and info on them. This will be the best £40 you will ever spend.
what about a haynes manual? is that of any use?
The haynes is a pile of doggy poo, ok for basics but the mazda manuals have exploded pics, complete noody guides on fixing things and has a tonnes of info that you will need. I still have a haynes but only because it came with the car. Ebay is the best place. Also be careful because some of them only do the FC up to 1988, i had to buy a seperate cd for the 89-91 models but to be honest its only the engine and electrics that changed.
if you want to take various pictures and label each part with with a number, i will tell you what they are and what they do, cant say fairer than that

Please download them to your comp;
1) Uses less bandwidth of the guy hosting them
2) You don\'t want to be searching around on here again in a few months time when you cant remember which HT lead goes to which plug!
