No. that was before. I already bought the rebuild for that engine. This is the REBUILD that messed up, the seals are torn to hell. Actually the service center told me it should have been covered, but the decision of the district is all that matters. I don't really care anymore though I found another company that is putting a engine in and the clutch for $4300. MAZDA SUCKS! Thanks to you guys that DID give me some advice though. For now on I'm going to take it to the same company for ALL my maintanance and oil changes.

Not really Jacob6875..... Mazda did the first oil changes on the car when the engine blew up. They did not have a 8 tech on site, the engine I had question about is the "so called rebuild".... took it to my guy and he said it was not a rebuild matter fact it was the same one that "so called" blew up and was just fixed and put back together. THATS WHY I SAY MAZDA SUCKS....well don't get me wrong!....I'm talking about the Mazda service departments I had to deal with.
Also as far as I know Mazda doesn't rebuild engines they replace the engine core with a new one.

I was talking about how you didn't add oil to the car regularly (every 2-300miles) because rotaries burn oil, so for 2500 miles between your oil changes your engine was low on oil which is why it probably failed. And why your second one failed as well if you didn't start adding it.
Also as far as I know Mazda doesn't rebuild engines they replace the engine core with a new one.

Mazda opened an entire plant dedicated to rebuilding the RX8 engine. The dealers do not install new ones.

The dealers are not allowed to take the engine apart so many times they do not know the cause of failure unless it is obvious. They remove the engine and off to the reman plant it goes to get rebuilt.
