The factory motors are $1936 with a core fee and you get your money back regardless of the shape your core is. Your not going to find to many cores that are good anymore. These housing are going to be good for at least 100K. How much time do you think you have on them? Cam at Pettit says that, "your lucky if you get past 140K and the housing are still good". My point is that most of the motors that are coming from Mazda these days have new housings on them. You also get a 12 month warranty. My motor just arrived today. I can't wait to get my ride back on the road. This is not to say that there might not be better deals out there but this deal with the potential that the core is bad is not a good one.

Just my 2 cents,

That is a very good price with brand new housings and rotors... but i have yet to see any rebuilt motor from mazda with brand new housings and rotors that's under $2,000.00. A set of brand new housings($800 for 2) and rotors($600.00) are about $1,400.00 alone. With brand new housings I would expect at least a 2 year warranty, 1year with used ones. I'd like to know about these mazda places that's got brand new housings and rotors, because I'd like to buy from them too...

let me know...

Do you think that those parts cost mazda that much? they probably actually cost less than half of that amount for mazda to actually make, so the cost to install them on the factory rebuild isn't that great. I think that I read somewhere that mazda doesn't make any money on the rebuilds and they only do the rebuilds as a service to rotary owners, maybe I'm drunk though . Also does anyone know if the rebuilds for the japanese market always include all new housing and rotors or are they still re-used if they are good?

I would say that 98% of all rotary rebuilds have used housings and rotors. Through proper inspection (leak down test on the coolant passages on the housings), the housings and rotors are actually still in pretty good shape. The biggest parts that do go out are your oil seals. Depending on how hard it's driven and how well it's maintained, the seals can go 150k or it could go 5k. Anywho, unless the motor is blown (apex seals broken!!!), 80% of the time the housings are pretty good.

"And you're right mazda does loose money on rebuilds, because they don't have enough qualified people that understand rotaries, and therefore they get alot of comebacks (1year warranty)." I received a customer the other week, just got the car last November, got the motor and had it installed from a mazda dealership in west virginia, we put the car through a series of tests and the motor allready had 40 hidro-carbons (gas is getting into the coolant) a sign of a bad motor...

I do recommend having new housings and rotors when doing rebuilds, but hey to each his own. Heck look at me, I went through 6 motors (all jspec) before hitting the twelves. A lot of people are telling for the amount of motors that I went through I could have gotten two fully rebuilt motors. But my whole idea was to show that this motor is capable of doing 12's almost bone stock. I gues it's a matter of who u can trust and the reputation is what it boils down to.
