Have you ever returned an engine for a core refund?
Hello,
I have a Mazda remanufactured engine on its way. It should be here next week. In the meantime, I understand that I need to re-assemble my old engine for the core refund. I have it disassembled as far as it can be to inspect the parts (which is why I know I needed to go reman). Who has experience returning an engine for a core refund? How carefully and completely do I need to re-assemble this thing?
Thanks.

To close this out, I shipped my core loosely assembled. Honestly, that was sort of fun practice assembling a rotary. It's not really that difficult.
The engine spun, but I sure as hell wouldn't have tried to start it. It was also missing a couple very small things like an apex seal corner piece. But I made sure it had everything else, like a flywheel and all the other very visible parts.
Core was processed. I ran the car in a NASA TT event a weekend after finishing the install and I crashed the car. So now I'm fixing all of that.
Sigh. Thanks everybody.
