Decision on buying mah fd

Mostly Mazda records do verify that a factory reman short block was
installed at @ 53,578 miles.

Does that mean the apex seals and engine components were also purchased at that time?

Thanx guyz any help or info on what mostly mazda was verifying right there would help greatly. Can some explain wut was said hahaha?

A short block is the actual engine. Which would include the apex seals.

Maybe you should put off buying until you've researched some more.

When I got my rebuild, I had them use piston rings instead.

Do a little more research. Everyday you take time to research something new, you'll be glad you didn't make a big decision the day prior. You should also have someone on the forum help you pick out an FD if you're in a hurry and don't wanna miss out on a good deal. I'd be more than happy to volunteer. But only if you're somewhere in Southern CA. Good luck.

wit? mah? wuz? guyz?

Get with the program, kid........I'd wager half of the knowledgeable guys on this forum won't respond to your post simply because of your asinine method of typing. Harsh? Maybe. True? Yup.

New short block means new reman motor----new or like new (within tolerances) housings, rotors and e-shaft. New apex, corner, side seals and springs, new oil control rings, new water pump, new flywheel, new rotor housing oil injectors.......

How much do they want for the car? Also, find out if the motor is still under warranty or not......
