So I bought this engine about 8 months ago from a jdm importer here in Canada I was guaranteed the engine was lo kilometers with good compression HA…

When it showed up I took it to the local Mazda dealership to have it compression tested and what do ya know a broken side seal in housing #2 and a stuck or broken apex seal in #3

After that I sent the comp results to the jdm importer and they said they needed pics inside the exhaust ports to prove a problem with the apex seal so I did and then they said they couldn’t warranty the engine because I pulled the turbo’s off the engine

(they are so lucky you can’t strangle people through the phone !!!!!!!!aaaaaaaaaaaggggggggggg)

So here are here’s a couple of pics of what was inside ps all 9 apex seals were in there places and none were broke but one was jammed can’t imagine y and there was a 1 inch piece of side seal missing and n evedance of it going anywhere

more pics

more pics

Yes that is a apex seal imprint in the rotor so the engine was pulled apart a new seal was put in with the f*** up rotor and housing then they sold it to me

y do people have to be bastards that's my only question



Ok I’m done venting now so if anybody has a spare 20b rotor in good shape that is for sale pleas let me know

ok I have no idea how i screwed up thayt post and ended up with it 3 times sorry

dang man, you got screwed :( Who are these people so we know not to buy through them?

damn that sucks.....you should call Ray @ Malloy Mazda if you need a new rotor.

I've heard of at least one other shady deal with that place.

so how much did you pay (ifn you don't mind). I been watching the price on ebay, they seem to have peaked a while ago at $4K+ and have since drifted down to mid $3K... i should bought one when they were at $2500, but who knew?
