I'm trying to decide if I should fix my motor or buy a Mazda reman. To fix my motor I need 2 rotors, a rotor housing, and front and intermediate housings. Rotors and rotor housings are about $500 each new. What about the front and intermediate housings? I would also need apex seals ($400?) and gaskets $$$?? I could buy a reman with new rotors and housings for $2000. I'm trying to figure out the best approach. Unless I find quality used parts, the reman will be cheeper.

Maybe you'll get lucky like Rikki. His last reman from there had all Brand new parts! No bullshit.

Yea Dave from KDR. Waiting for money, thats what. I'll probably buy it right before I move and then just load it onto the trailer along with the car.
