$3500 total to swap on a V-8?????????
Sure...right...
Pettit quoted me a rebuild w/ street port for $3k. 2 week turnaround too.
Japtrix in West Palm Beach Florida - Drop off car, wait 2 weeks, pay $2500, drive car home with rebuild.
Mazda Factory rebuild - $2300 for a 13B-REW- Install yourself and your done plus you have a 12 month 12K mile warranty.
But please do send your shitty rotary engines to me.

has anyone serviced these v8 rx's? dude if it is more reliable but takes 2 days to change plugs or do anything else. just because its different doesn't means its cool. it doesn't mean its bad either just diiffent.
be a piece of cake.
I had a big block V-8 in my Oldsmobile, and had to remove the header on one side of the engine to change the plugs, but still it only took about 2 hours to do all 8 plugs.

I wouldin't really call the LS1 a reliable engine. Anything that has a normalality such as "piston slap" isnt that great.. They have been known to burn oil too.
Get an LT1 a lot cheaper, and it still eats those 200 shots like candy.
Granny makes kits for these *****. They make it very effortless and easy.
The thing I don't get is, is that when your engine starts falling apart, overheating, leaking fluids...you're supposed to deal with it? And fix it? And if you're fed up with doing that ****, it's your fault.. Hey man, I like an engine that doesnt do that ****. Your engine is supposed to work for you, not the oppisite.
