or should they be saved??
starting to pile up.

yeah theres a company in canada that does the ceramic coating, and i've also heard of other resurfacing techniques that may soon be available...basically rechroming

 

Start here:

www.jhbperformance.com

The jury is still out on the effectiveness of this technique. The company promises that this process (cermet-coating) is affordable and durable, and the 4-rotor 26B LeMans car had a similar process done on it.

But detractors have stated that Mazda had tried this previously and found that the coating flaked off over time and ultimately was a waste of time. This could very well be true--- or Mazda could very well not want aftermarketers to be cutting into their replacement parts market. Who knows?

I guess we'll have to wait and see how many of the engines that have had this treatment make it to 200,000+ miles without a teardown.

 

well i have no need for them, i have plenty of good housings as well.
you cant get oem 12a housings anymore, can you?

 

heck. ill take some crap housings. let me know what you got and what you want. pm me

also, crap rotors if you have any also

 

pay me the price of alluminum?

 

My understanding from the Competition Manual posted in the race section is the wiped surface is actually an insert, which makes the flaking make sense, especially in housings that have bad water seals.

 

Yes, their still available thru MazdaComp. $319 last time I bought one.

 

I have 10-12 junk housings and a few trashed rotors if anyone is interested. Not sure what to do with em...

 

Hey, I'd like to buy a trashed housing and rotor for my desk. Let me know.

 

FISHTANK!

 

People will pay $25 to $50 for a housing and Rotor to Display.
