I've got to pull it to do some touch up paint work in the engine bay. And I've got to pull the turbo's to port the wastegate. When I do that I'll take the mani off and see what kind of shape the sleeve is in. If the sleeve is solid, I won't. If the sleeve seems loose or if it shifted at all, or if there are signs of an exhaust leak, they yes, motor comes apart again. I've got one good REW housing, so if the sleeve is in bad shape I'll either need to find a comparable REW housing, a comparable RE housing, or take 2 of my n/a housings to Goopy for that resurfacing treatment.

As of right now though, the only things that I need to do to the engine are re-work the harness slightly to add a fuel temp sensor, and change out the intake mani gaskets. Mazdatrix didn't have them in stock so I had to re-use the old ones.... it bothers me.
