Isn't pineapple over here in Portland, Oregon?
I drove by their shop once. I needed a EGR block off, but ended up buying it from Mazdatrix as I couldn't seem to make it over there when they were open.

If they put new bearings in the motor then it would require an extended break in period. Did they tell him exactly what they replaced?

I've seen that they sell rebuild kits with new rotor bearings. Using new rotor bearings with used rotors isn't the greatest thing and can require an extended break-in. I'm just trying to figure out why it went bad because I'm curious. I always see so many "mysterious" engine failures, like my friend's which has blown 3 times since November.
