98? wow, you sure you don't mean 89?

f*ck i always do that.....yah its a 89

bump

what are you asking us the price for?



give us more info about the overheating problem etc etc



its probably time for a rebuild at 170000 miles but it might just be a faulty fan or shroud, broken radiator..old thermostat etc



theres a lot of factors

hey already took it to a shop....they said blown head gasket....but there is no head gasket on a rotarty....soooo what could be wrong...or whats the "head gasket" on a rotary

go to mazdatrix.com and get the rebuild kit, they have like 4 different kits depending on the stages of damage on the original engine.if you need rotors and housings the whole 9 yards then its gonna cost more but if its a little more simple it should only be a few hundred bucks. and buy all the specialty rotary tools then take off work for about 3 weeks to a month and get crackin. have fun man cause im puttin in a clutch and resurfacing the flywheel and its been a big long expensive ordeal. good luck.

oh yeh if its that bad then go to atkins rotary .com and get a rebuilt turboII shortblock with street porting and buy a full turbo assembly then tear it up. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
