Well my second Mazda rebuilt engine bit the big one today...with only 18k. Did the famous carbon lock and there goes the farm...The first motor lost the front rotor coolant seal and kept flooding the front rotor....only 12k on it.. However Mazda replaced the first motor under the warranty, 1 year unlimited mileage and are prorating the second motor gonna charge me only half the labor cost. They feel their motors should last a little longer than 7 months and 8 months respectivly.. :redface: I guess once you get addicted to the old rotor nothing can deter you.... Also the dealer is going to call me when Mazda gets an RX8 in town and let me DROOL on it...mabe even drive it

 

Arent these N/A motors?



Something is very wrong there.

 

Yep , I got my first 7 in 83 and put 147k on it with no problems, I even raced it back then. Altogether I have had 6 Mazda rebuilts in to 7s I have owned in the past 4 years...I took 3 to get my 84 going and this will be the 3rd in my 88...

 

either you or whoever is rebuilding these engines is doing something very very wrong.

 

the mazda remans arent very good, carbon lock is super rare though



mike

 

i thought carbon lock was just an urban legend

 

its not....trust me



that is complete bullshit that motors are dying that often..are you sure these ppl arent ******* with you...putting glass beads in motors,(seen it done to a ferrari) are you breaking them in right?

 

also...that stuff about "dont be afraid of 9000 rpm" is bullshit..maybe you are doing that?

 

ugh oh I have a fac rebuilt! :redface: well i only paid 1300 for it w/o core, and its got new housings on it so im all good

 

remans are pretty good in my experience. they are not bad engines at all!



something is wrong... shouldn't be going through N/A engines this fast.....
