I'm new to the rotary and I was wondering - approximately, what would be the cost to have an engine rebuilt. This assumes I pull the motor and strip it of accessories etc., and bring it to a reputable rebuilder. Assumes no serious engine damage, just wear. Also, as a baseline, assume rebuild to stock specs.

Thanks

 

Most around around 2500+

 

If you are just looking to rebuild an engine to stock specs, it will be cheaper to get a Mazda remanufactured engine from Malloy Mazda at just aroun $2000 (with your engine core sent back to them).

 

My first was a rebuild, cost $3,000

Then 2 years later it developed a water seal leak and grnaded on me.

This time I went for the reman engine.....$2,500

I get my Rex back next week, but not before installing a Delphi water temp gauge.

 

If you rebuild your existing motor, and nothing is damaged, figure about 1000 for all new seals and gaskets.

 

plus labor to have somone do it for you. A rebuild kit from mazda is almost what.. 1300 bucks?

 

i wouldn't go for a rebuild......a reman engine is better. I would opt for one from Malloy Mazda or BNR, preferably BNR is you are looking for high performance, and it will cost ya a lil more.

I think you've got your terminology backwards. Besides, a reman IS a rebuild, just by the mass production company Mazda uses.

alexh1: I suggest you call either Rick at Rick's Rotary in Pleasanton (925-484-2324) for rebuild price or Ivan (do search under West forum for his phone number). They are local rebuilders with great reputations.

 

 

I think what he ment was.....instead of having to go through all the trouble of taking apart HIS engine and then having it sent out to a shop/builder, it would be best to just get an engine/block that' s been "over-hauled"..i.e; Reman. Less b/s and labor for the owner and probably a whole lot quicker getting the FD back on the street. Either way..time to let the bejamins go.

 

Mine just cost me $7800 with labor

 

expensive.....

 

Next week mine is going in...
$5500.00 Complete Reuild, Removal of Engine, and Reassembly, 3mm Apex Seals all around, Agressive Street Port, and all new vacuum hose job... Once I tack on the clutch and flywheel, and boring out the injectors I expct to be around 7K ....

 

my rebuild cost 6300. i wish i had gotten some water passages enlarged. you may want to look into some realiablity mods, but know that their are tons of hidden costs so plan accordingly by having spare $$.

 

I dunno how much my rebuild is gonna be.......cause insurance is gonna be the one paying for it in a couple weeks, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

wow, thats lucky. since thats the case go for the works man, get everything you want done to the engine done.

 

I had mine rebuilt, oil pressure mod, port and polish, 3mm double spring seals for $3100.

 

wow, thats pretty good. who did it for you?

 

A guy named Adam in Canada. With their exchange rate they have stock rebuilds for $1800. The stuff is mad cheap, and they do really good work. A lot of companies (to whom I am not going to mention names) do get their parts from them, and I'm sure you can guess who these companies are... probably 2 of the biggest rebuilders on the forums. None the less, they do a great job and ADam is a cool guy.

 

very cool, to bad you aren't gonna give the name of the place that built your engine. i know how it is though.
