LA 50,000 mile engine

Price: $1500
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): Series I
Location (US State/Canada/Int): LA
Item Condition: Used

Engine overheated and needs water seal replaced. This engine has never been rebuilt. Still runs great just leaks water into engine. Still has great compression and starts with no hesitation. Was going to fix myself just running out of time. Have to be is Missouri November for child visitation court. I would also consider any reasonable offer.

+1

I was quoted $2,500-$2,800 depending on the dealer.
Good compression used engines go for around $1,200.

Thanks for the advice Novoken, I called Mazda today and they want $2001 plus $1000 core, so I have to turn this engine in.
