I need to buy a core that is in semi-good shape. It doesnt have to be great, just something i can have rebuilt. I recently had Atkins screw me over, now i have less than what i started with. I have no re-useable parts. If anyone has a 3rd gen motor for sale, or knows where i can get one, please let me know.
thanx

 

Just go with one of these

This is the route I am likely to take.

Man, do you take EVERYTHING off the engine, including the oil pan when you send in your old one?

 

Yup, and make sure you take the oil pump pickup tube or you may not get it back.

Thanks for the tip!

 

why pay $2299 or more for a mazda reman when you can get one from Ray at Malloy Mazda for $1990?

 

why so much cheaper? Which one would you recomend?

 

It is called shipping man, shipping is two ways. One for the reman and the other way to get the core back to them.

 

You don't need it. The Mazda Remans come with a new one. (The oil pan is actually on the engine and sealed).

 

Seriously, does anyone know where i can pick up a used, but decent core?? I need one ASAP!!!
