yep and I told them that a motor with 110K ran 40k with those same mods without blowing up. I will never NEVER by another mazda reman. It's best to know what went into your engine.
they ended up replacing the engine anyway but told me that if I filed for a warranty again they wouldn't warranty the motor.
That motor lasted 13K.
I then bought every part necessary to have it rebuilt.

Why would you expect Mazda to honor a warranty when you use aftermarket parts with it?
I'm aware there is a law preventing mfrs from ducking whenever there are any aftermarket parts on a car (i.e. dampers), but that doesn't apply when the mods affect engine function. Most bolt-on mods and all ECUs directly affect engine function, so that law really doesn't apply.

+1 What dgeesaman said.
You've got an ECU where there are user control functions to change factory settings that directly affect the engine. Why would you expect them to honor a warranty?
What modifications do you have besides the PFC?

Id like to know how you guys think you can "wait for a reman with new parts", or even find out what went into it. Remans do have build sheets specifying part content and specs, but to my knowledge theyre not available to customers. I've never seen or heard tell of this happening, except for those ultra rare japan-assembled shortblocks that Malloy was selling a while back for a bit over 4 grand.

I speak Japanglish
I just had my 2nd reman replaced under warranty with no problem.
[I had the first reman motor for 1yr w/ minor pinched o-ring]
Upon the request for the replacement, they didn't ask me anything.
Only problem was that it took them few month to get the motor from the suppier.
