"New" Engines
Well my RX died thursday. The eccentric shaft broke, so now I'm looking for a new engine to replace it. Dose anyone know of a good place they would recomend getting a "new" one at? I've looked at some junkyards, but I'd rather go with a shiney new (or at least referbed) engine.
(Its a 13b, NA)
Also, even thought the engine is being replaced, could there be any other issues that could come up with the car due to this kind of failure, that I should look out for.
Hmmm...at least with a new engine out, Ill be able to get all the stuff done on it that I wouldnt have before *cough* porting *cough*

r u sure its the e-shaft? I think its very rare to snap those. I would think a seal would go way way before the e-shaft would.
Anyways...plenty of places to get a rebuild. Cost for a rebuild would be anywhere from $1000-3000.
U can get a mazda reman. engine but thats around $2200 too (I think). Plus, you may be getting "in-spec" used housings, so thats a slight risk IMO.
There is always J-spec, but those are all turbos, so unless u want to do a swap, that rules that option out.
If doing an engine, I would also do clutch (I recomend ACT) and mounts, hoses, belts, PR sleeves. etc.

I know your a little ways away from Tennessee but Kevin Landers sells rebuilt engines and can even port them for you. Does a great job. http://www.rotaryresurrection.com

Yah it was the e-shaft. Had 2 others look at it just to be sure. Yup, its broke.
I *was* thinking of getting a turbo, but I'm not sure, I think I'll just stick to NA.
Thanks, by the way, for the help. I'll check out the site.

Call Ray Crow @ Malloy Mazda 703-490-8170 for a factory remanufactured. He'll give you a price shipping, gaskets and all. They'll want a core deposit, unless it's somebody they know doing the install. Naturally it will be returned, with receipt of "old" motor.
I had a '89TII installed in August, great compression. Runs fantastic, plus a 12 month warranty.

do yourself a favor and go turbo. I'll never go back to N/A except for the nostalgia of running a 4-rotor N/A motor that could spank just about anything else on the road (but that's a few years away).

How many HP are you pushing through to damage an E shaft??? You won't do it with less than 400Hp.
