Does anybody know of a well-qualified shop around Houston that would be willing to take in my engine and fix (what I'm very sure is) a coolant leak inside of the engine?

 

Did you ever get a response to this? I am looking for same

 

Send it to me and I'll biuld you a better than factor motor with a 2 year 24k warranty. I am one state north in oklahoma.

 

bring it to austin we can rebuild it here!!!!

 

maz-max rebuilt my engine

 

Malloy will sell you a Mazda remanufactured engine for cheap.

So for you guys that rebuild motors or have had them done, what does the rebuild parts and labor run, not including the R&R? I know Mazda has a redesigned side seal that should be a big improvement. That may be reason enough to rebuild it yourself to make sure you get the new seals.

 

as for original question, no, no one from houston can do that

 

Who is Malloy?

 

Malloy Mazda in Virginia, they sell parts and remans wholesale. Ask for Ray.

 

I don't live down there, but I know of a guy in Angelton that can rebuild the motor, problem is getting in line, I know he is out until the end of January now.

Again for the original poster, it's not practical to just fix the seal, if your going to R&R the motor, pull it apart then you just do a full rebuild as the other posters said.

I'm doing a swap now, I just got a Mazda reman.

 

Where is maz Max location

 

looking for a shop to do a rebuild for me. Anyone in Houston or close to Houston? I will travel to get it to the right place.

 

Hey brotha how much would you charge to rebuild I really like the 8 but do t know if it’s really worth it

 

Thought he divested of all things RX8 a long time ago. He hasn’t posted on the forum since 2015, though he still visits once in a while.
