Yup , coolant seal incident. Looks like the hoses blowing off was the compression getting into the coolant system. Water streaming out of the exhaust , the motor is done . Dam coolant seals. Lets see what I do next.

 

howmany mileso on your before it popped?

 

Was this the same car that you had for sale????

 

No way thats one is fine. This was my car that blew, it over heated so this probably is what caused it. The one for sale is getting a paint job right now and fixing the sway bar mounts with better Mazdatrix ones.

 

8,000 to 10,000 and cause of death was over heat cause of popped hose ( i had an aftermarket radiator)

 

Who rebuilt it? 8-10k sucks! You dodn't sound like you're pissed. I'd be, no pun intended, fuming.

 

He he he, fuming

I think it was a mazda rebuild. It over-heated I can not really blame the rebuild, even the best rebuilds will be on their knees to the pressure and heat of an overheating rotary. Scary part was I was only idling! Stuck in traffic. I do not sound **** because I probably may ask a few local friedns to help me with the rebuild and I have the space and tools to go with the rebuild.

 

Doing it yourself is fun anyway. I haven't had the pleasure of rebuilding a rotary... Yet! Just V8's.
