You need to measure them to see if they are still in specs.
Buy the video and learn it all for yourself..

It's definitely worth the money even if you decide not to do the job yourself.

a Mazda reman has two new rotor housings and at least two new side housings (maximum of one lapped used side housing per engine).
beyond that, i know all seals are replaced also, but i don't know about bearings/rotors. i do know that the core engines are disassembled, all seals and obviously damaged/worn parts thrown away, as well as any modified parts (ported housings are automatically scrapped) everything else is cleaned and measured, side housings lapped, and anything considered good is placed into inventory.
engines are then assembled from a minimum spec of new parts and the remaining parts are grabbed from inventory.

i doubt they measure anything either, the fd motors apex seal grooves are all over spec (you can measure thru the exhaust port)i have even seen rotors with chunks missing. they dont even clean the outside of the housings they just spray paint over the dirt. the flip side of the coin, though is that sometimes you do get a new engine, or one with mostly new parts
