hmm,did your mechanic do a compression test and find out you dont have power in one of your rotors? if it is, then your motor is no good.

Do you sitll have warranty on your car???? if you got warranty then it should be taken care of under your warranty if its still active.

warranty for engine core was extended to 8 years 100,000 miles for 04-08. You are good to go.

I know mazda of north america extended, but I'm guessing he's not in america. And if he's not, then that might not apply (though I honestly dont know for sure).

Is your car being checked by a mazda mechanic or a rotary mechanic?

you'll have to tell us where you are to help you out.

If your compression is dead you can try a rebuild and replace your seals, but you should have it diagnosed first to see if there are any other issues. If you have other problems you can replace your seals and then turn it on and blow the brand new ones and waste all your work.

I'd assume the engine took in water and compressed it, so seals would do the trick. Import and install.
