Whats the name and number of the person I need to contact at Malloy Mazda in regards to purchasing and engine and other various parts for my car?

Thanks,
Greg Hutchinson

 

Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda in Woodbridge Virginia.

I don't have the number handy, he is a really cool guy and an FD owner.

 

number anyone????

Thanks,
Greg

 

Try 888.533.3400

 

I never deal with them but I heard they can make a good offer for REMAN. Post your feedback after you tried. Thanks.

 

I have only good things to say aboue Ray @ Malloy Mazda. Great guy to deal with.

However, I just bought a Mazda Reman motor from Malloy and had it torn down and streetported by Pineapple Racing. Joel, from Pineapple said that after inspecting the engine internals, he found that they reused rotor bearings and a front hub that was grooved. All of which had to be replaced with new parts. The grooved front hub would've caused leaking...

OK, that sucks! This is the first bad thing I have heard about Malloy. Hopefully not a trend of things to come.

Were the parts in question out of spec by a lot?

 

Malloy has nothing to do with rebuilding the motors or their quality, they are offering you the same reman motor which all Mazda dealers have access to. Malloy just offers parts at a better discount than most dealers...

 

Exactly.

Talk to Ray though, I ordered my reman from him and I'm having it ported at KDR. The engine was $2240 with the gasket set and shipping both ways, if you care.

 

Pineapple is the best place for NEW engines by far. All the others reuse old parts.

 

New engines are unavailable, unless you want to spend many many thousands of dollars and buy all new parts. Even Pineapple reuses old parts if they are in spec!

 

I think you better check with them again. They DO Resuse parts. Not everything is new. Why else do you think they need a Core?

 

There's nothing wrong with Malloy, just Mazda remans.

 

go to http://www.malloyautomall.com/ for Malloy's web page and contact information.... I agree... Ray Crowe is the best ...

I bought a reman last October from him and he treated me right... Weather or not everthing in the motor was new is unknow to me as I didn't crack the case.... However, since install I've not had a single leak and performance has been outstanding... In fact, I smoked one of the brand new BMW M-3's a few weeks backs... Check the "Kill" section for details

Cheers,
Rich

 

Ray is great and is knowledgable. That alone makes talking with him a pleasure.

I spoke to Ray on Thursday and my engine arrived on Tuesday.

Highly recommended

 

I find it interesting a shop would question "used bearings". All shops reuse old parts if they are in spec. Look at an older Racing Beat cataloge and read what they say about "used" bearings. If they are in spec they tell you NOT to change them. I have seen "used" rotor bearings go over 300,000 miles.

As far as mazda remans the quality of the Malloy remans are very good.

 

Guys...

any ideas on what would be wise to order along w/ the purhcase of the engine...

Im taking the engine somhwere to be dropped and would like to avoid the hassle of waiting when I coul dhave ordered the parts my self..

What is a good idea to replace, EVEN if the part I currently have is okay...

the car has 89,000 miles on it and I want to do it right the first time

Please let me know what all I can and should order from ray tomorrow

Thanks...

I'm also looking for somone that has a pair of good stock turbo housongs.

THANKS

 

mazda remans come with warranty right? why did you have to pay for the grooved parts?

 

mazda remans i think are a 1 yr 12,000 mile warrenty... but if you port it or anything it voids that warrenty...the great thing about pineapple.. is they warrenty any engine they put together up to 5 years...

 

about to call Ray on monday for some one way check valves...

 

malloy mazda is reliable. great prices. and fast shipping!!!!!!!! took me less then 90 secconds to order some bearings!

 

All the fuel lines. FPD(fuel pulsation damper), all coolant lines, spark plugs and wires, vaccum hoses (if not already done, do it while the engine is out), clutch and flywheel (stockers work great or an upgrade, now is the time to save money on labor, again if not already done), check your kmnock sensor and see if it is gooped down the side of the engine,(very common),OMP lines(SS or stock, now is the time) ALL crush washers for oil and fuel, and coolant fittings.Engine mounts, POLY or stock, now is the time, Ask Ray about the housings, not sure what he sells them for but never hurts to ask.

Ray is the ****, i dealt with him when i had my shiop in Hawaii, NEVER had a screwed up order, and engines got to me within a week and for a couple cents more than 2k. All my remans I got had little issues with them. Ray took care of EVERY one of them at NO cost to me or my customers. He is the man!! As others have said, Malloy has absolutley no control over the QC on the remans. They are farmed out to different companies every few years, so no real QC can stay in full effect as it keeps changing hands

 

Here is the parts department number at Malloy Mazda. 703-490-8263
Ray and John are very helpful and know what they are doing. I order parts from them at least once a week. I have a drawer full of reciepts to prove it.

 

Big Island Sevens, you just replied to a 5 year old request for help

Fonzi, a toll free number is 888 533 3400, as listed on the first page.

 

Haha Didn't even look, I am layed up from back surgery and fade in and out with the meds. Not as "on point" as i should be i guess!! But hey, it sometimes takes people 5 + years to get rebuilt so there is a chance my post was for not.

Thanks for making me feel retarded though Rich!!
