How much miles on the engine?
If we're talking all Mazda OEM stuff and you're looking at replacing the apex seals, it's still $500+ just in parts...

Mazda specs...

8.0mm height - brand new
7.5mm height - replace apex seal inner springs
7.0mm height - minimum spec, replace apex seal if below this spec

Go measure them and find out...
