Mazda Remans on Backorder
I just got off the phone with Ray at Malloy and he is having real trouble getting the waranteed Mazda 13B remans back in stock. He said they have 9 on backorder and the problem might have to do with the RX-8 recalls. Apparantely it's the same shop doing the rebuilding. This sucks for anyone waiting for a reman (me). I've been waiting over 3 weeks.

My car has been in the dealership for a little over 3 weeks now and I really had my doubts when I was told that there were no rebuilt FD motors here in the USA and that a new one would have to come from Japan. I guess all the FD motor replacements are going back to NEW and not REMAN as was the case just a few weeks back if this is really the case.

Ray had remans in July, because I bought one. Had new housings, rotors, bearings in addition to the other thigns. With current cost of parts, it is more expensive to rebuild than buy a reman (unless you are reusing housings).

it's a toss up
you can usually get a rebuild with at least one new housing, street port, and alot of other new parts for $2400...typically one of the housings is still good
since I'm a big fan porting, I wouldn't consider a reman again

if you do your own porting and reassembly that's fine, but most people don't....that's prob another $600-$700 (what Chris charged me on my reman tear down and port work)
anyway, I'm sold on the 3 mm seals

I just got a call from Ray and the engines shipped to him this morning. He thinks they will arrive on Wednesday.
I went with a reman because after taking apart my engine I found that I needed 2 new rotor housings, an intermediate housing, and possibly a rear side housing. After checking the prices on mazdaspeed, I found that it would cost significantly less just to go with a reman.

The reason I wanted the Mazda reman and not someone else's rebuild is because of the 12 month or 12,000 mile warrantee. I defintetly considered calling giving it to Rotary Ressurection but honestly - I didn't feel like pulling the engine and I would rather have the 'newer' parts.
I took it to Jim at JPR and he's going to be doing the remove and replace (and a couple other things). www.jprimports.com

I also spoke to Mr. Crowe today and he told me the good news about the remans.

It always amazes me to see cheap engine rebuilds- there must be shortcutting something. Mazda owns and make the parts there is no way I can compete with their pricing unless I cut out some quality or service. This is not why we always have about 14-15 FDs on site & waiting to have engines built,turbosystems installed,etc.... Quality isn't cheap or quickly accomplished.
