Funk: Thank you. I will need it!
DriftingB26: I will be taking pics while I progress
Ottoman: Everything you see there ran me 1900
Darb808: That is a full rebuild kit. Includes all seals and springs. I had to order an new oil pump, thrust bearings and washers, and i have to make another order to order my rotor bearings and stationary bearings. I totally forgot. I order it from MazdaTrix. Fair decent prices. My local dealership tried to rip me off at $97/apex. Even with my 20% discount, It was still cheaper at Mazdatrix. I rather replace as much as I can while its out. It will save me down the line.

The rotors and housings are out being cleaned at my friends work. Hopefully I'll get them back to take pics. I do have pics of the disassembly. I didn't have a chance to really inspect anything. It was really late and I just gave it to my friend to clean and we'll inspect the wear when everythings is clean.

notice that my engine came out clean with no carbon on my rotors. I've been premixing for a year with royal purple. I'm surprised how clean it came out. I also did one water injection treatment a while ago. I guess the $7 a quart of royal purple was worth it. I started premixing at 130k and i'm at 143k

Some reason the rotor housings look worst when a picture is being taken. It's actually pretty shiny. I'll get some pics of it when its cleaned up
