Overheated motor rebuild.
#26
A reman from Mazda is $2,000.00ish (as low as $1850.00, as high as $2400.00 depending on the dealer markup). It will cost you that at least to do it yourself and I doubt you have the tools or the ability to do it yourself and that is if your hard parts are reusable, which is doubtful considering you overheated it. If you need even one new housing that will cost you $700.00.
i see what you mean. much appreciated bro thanks

Yes, that is exactly what we are telling you.
Rebuilding it yourself without replacing everything properly, relapping the irons, etc... is like calling heads and deliberately putting the coin on tails.
If you want to be sure of a good engine, go to a reputable rebuilder. There is no cheap way to rebuild these engines right. NONE. End of story.

yea but atleast i have the ability of replacing an engine in a couple of days if needed. when i started racing imports your mom was probably dropping you off at the mall so you could hang out with your little friends and play car video games in the arcade lol come on now.

There are NO brand new engines any more. The new engine assembly line in Japan has been shut down for a while. EVERY engine, even a "new" engine from a dealer is still a remanufactured engine. Every single one.

thats what i meant. why would an engine from the dealer cost about he same as a used one from a junk yard.

I've never seen a junkyard one priced higher than about $1,500, and he was smoking when he listed that price. Junkyard prices are typically around $700-$900.
So no, they aren't the same price.
