Mazda just called me.. Lower intake manifold gasket is done.. They also said compression was 5.8 all across.

DAMNIT!!!!!! Sigh..... Anyone got GOOD reccomendations for rebuilt motors..

 

I was about to say congratulations thinking you had just got your new motor in the car. Good luck.

 

i dont have the time nor resources to do an engine replacemtn myself.. so this ***** gonna cost me big money.

 

talk to Malloy Mazda in Va. I've seen posts where people said they sell remans for like $1700

 

2050

 

2200 both motors shipped florida anyway then you need a gasket kit.... still a lot o money for something questionable

hey at least you get new housings though fo shoo

 

what city is that in?

 

i just spoke with Malloy Mazda and they said 1900 for the reman.

Anyone in Va wanna make some money and put in my rebuild for me

 

Damn... you guys have it easy. $1.9k... Its $7k overhere for the shortblock only...

 

ahh the joys of having a 7

 

Fly me out there and I will hahahha

 

it's in Woodbridge. 45 minutes south of DC down I-95

 

Send me a pm with your number and we will talk.

 

f-ck that, you got insurance?? Dump some sugar in the tank and say someone messed it up! Poof! you pay 500 bucks for your premium and have your insurance company pay for your new engine

 

plus clogged injectors fuel pump and other crap from the sugar... I'm sure the insurance could find traces of that sugar without much effort if they decided to investigate

 

I did it in my 300zx. A deer hit my right side. A week later, i installed a system and forgot to tie my battery down. I went for a cruise and went over a bump! BOOM! fried my wiring harness and nearly blew the battery. I blamed it on the deer and got all new stuff. Take the insurance companies deep, they do it to us.

 

Cost me $5000 down here in Oz. Replaces everthing seals, gaskets, etc

 

Old trick. Insurance will sample it and find sugar trace. Then you'll go to the big house for insurance fraud and become someones beeeeaaach. Don't drop the soap

 

does the word morals mean anything to anyone anymore?

 

PM me I live 3 hours away and I may be able to get a buddy to go with me to bust out that project. He's been working on rotaries for 13 years and his father owns a couple shops in FL. I am in the military so we could just take it to the local air base in oceana or Norfolk.
