Hi Jeff,

You might take a look at
http://printer1.blogspot.com/2009/03/mazda-rx-8-2003-service-manual.html

You can download a free service manual although I don't think it gets
down to the details internal engine disassembly.  There may be others,
I found this one with Google.

I have a pdf of the rx-7 repair manual that is harder to use than a
printed book. The pages are all just images so that searching isn't
possible.    You have to look through it just like the book, but it
isn't as convenient.
