wnaplay1647545503 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 I have this 05 mazda 6 that I believe needs an engine. I havent been able to look at it to much but it appears to be seized. I have rebuilt a few chevy/ford motors back in the day but it seems like most people just buy a used engine or a reman one anymore. Are import motors just not worth rebuilding? A used one at the junkyard runs anywhere from $1200 to $2500+ for a reman. I would have to guess rebuilding one would be far less and I would be better off that taking a chance with a possible lemon from the junkyard. I am considering if I choose to fix it I will just rebuild it myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 the motors in those are wierd and take a bunch of special tools to rebuild. is it a 2.3 or a 3.0? I'll see what we can do ya on a used one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokin5s Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I know this car is sold, but figured I'd post on here that it is a HUGE PAIN IN THE ASS and worth whatever someone charges to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
