Mazda Remanufactured

Mazda's criteria for a rotor housing within spec is pretty tight. If nothing else is new besides seals and bearings I would say that you stand a pretty good chance of getting new rotor housings. From what I have seen and read the irons are the most commonly re-used parts.
I would consider how much damage is done to your engine whether it be from something blowing up or just from wear-and-tear. Getting a Mazda reman with new parts is a whole lot cheaper than trying to piece a new motor together.
I think they have something like a 12 month, 12,000 mile warranty.

true, but i'm under the impression that they have a 2 year warrenty as long as the block isn't opened
work for Mazda thats all.
I guess they have thier own people do it all and ship it everywhere, like
all the transmissions, engines, etc..
the dealer themselves do not do the rebuilding, but I guess mazda does it
themselves someplace

My dad bought a Mazda reman for his FD. It cost right around $2000, but he had a hook up. He was friends w/ a mechanic there that got the engine for him.
He beats the crap out of that FD and he has not had a single issue with it at all. Its been over a year now that he has had it and he is daily driving it 70 miles a day to and from work.
He races anyone that has something that looks like its a decent race. He now tells Mustang GT owners at lights he will not waste his gas racing them. LOL it pisses them off.

If I remember correctly: the Mazda remans are actually performed for Mazda under contract by AC Delco in Jacksonville Fla. Maazda used to maintain 2 shops (one east coast and one west coast) but they were having Quality control problems with the west coast, so they consolodated operations and contracted it out.

we used to get motors with all kinds of wierd things, apex seal grooves missing, 0 compression, housings that were worse than your old ones, but they have gotten better lately
