Oh mighty one, do you know if anyone has ever been able to reapply the chromium to the housings after it's wore off or is it just impossible?

if you can slap it on once, you can slap it on again. The cost of removing it all then levelling it and then reapplying the coat would be more than a new one, hence no reman for the housings.

I agree with you. I've heard that in Japan Mazda will resurface side housings and use that nitriding process on it again.

Yeah i heard all the factory rebuilds have the side plates resurfaced and new housings. So why do people buy rebuilds from anyone else? I believe the factory rebuilds are also under $2k? Can this all be true????

you aren't guaranteed anything except new seals on a mazda rebuild

Damn, I knew it was too good to be true.

They're actually very good nowadays. I bought a dealer motor for the 91 coupe, and it runs really well. 3rd gen motors may have fewer new parts.

well if everyone turns in totally blown engines you have to get a new engine everytime but i don't think that's the case
