problems

hey guys ,i just got this mazda running,sorta . i have oil coming out of the exhuast and or the freeze plugs,my question is can i unbolt he tube that bolts to the manfold and plug the four holes,all the emmisions are either plugged or have bolts in the hoses,im trying to save for a weber downdraft, also i have oil coming out of the botom of the manifold before it ties into the cat ,am i making sense?if not here are some pics ,i need a remedy for this.im sure ill have more problms. thanx in advance

how did you manage to get oil into your exhaust? but yea you can cap em off gm lug nuts fit on em

If u indeed have oil in the exhaust u have a plugged #1 CAT for sure.I also see oil on the valve cover- ru sure u just dont have a bunch of leaky gaskets? Much cheaper to replace gaskets than rebuild a motor.BJ

yeah the vavle cover gasket is good just replaced t , so if i buy a header and do away with the cats i should be fine? we dont have emmissions,here so i dont have to worry about that .

yes you should be fine but if the first one is clogged i would look in to checking out the second one as well.

i had oil in my exhaust and it was caused by bad rings.

well when its running there is a ton of white smoke, but most of it is burning off of the manifold , the truck runs really strong , no knocking no pinging really good throttle response no lifters clicking , im hoping i can can just replace the exhaust and carb and drag the piss outa italso this is what im ordering as soon as i get some cash.

was the truck parked a long time and you had to break the engine loose?

no it was having carb/choke problems
