It was a while ago, but unless I paid in cash.......
I didn't write a check or use plastic for the delivery. And I never pay cash at my door for something like that.

No brokerage fees. It's shipped as Mazda North America Operations. If you look at the invoice carefully they consider you as a dealer. Not exactly sure how it works.
But I'm guess it's all part of the shipping fees. That is why shipping is an arm and a leg with them.

Yuppp. I decided to check these bolts and notice them loose. All of them except the bolt on the driver side towards the middle of the motor were fine. small crack but we'll see what kind of luck I have once I have the car together and running.

IN OTHER NEWS I lost a coolant seal in the car I was just talking about
I didn't even get a chance to do any tuning, I took it on a 300 km trip when this coolant seal problem revealed itself
Anyone got any kind of motor with FC mounts? I can make anything work, I just need something... S4, S5, 4-6 port...

It happens
The motor took some abuse a while ago, I had an injector short or something (which is what promted the rewire and new ignition system in the first place), flooded my motor literally with gasoline, i tried to start it and the engine locked trying to compress pure gasoline.
And then if you read this, I wouldn't doubt my 18 year old motor cracked a water seal groove in one of the irons on the compression side

Considering the symptoms and how the casting is weak, and the abuse it took before my rewire project...
It doesn't have the symptoms of a generic blown water seal, it's much less extreme, but either way compression is leaking into the cooling system.
Either way this block isn't useable in the condition it is now, so I'm NOT driving it...
