A reman from Mazda is $2,000.00ish (as low as $1850.00, as high as $2400.00 depending on the dealer markup). It will cost you that at least to do it yourself and I doubt you have the tools or the ability to do it yourself and that is if your hard parts are reusable, which is doubtful considering you overheated it. If you need even one new housing that will cost you $700.00.
i see what you mean. much appreciated bro thanks

Yes, that is exactly what we are telling you.
Rebuilding it yourself without replacing everything properly, relapping the irons, etc... is like calling heads and deliberately putting the coin on tails.
If you want to be sure of a good engine, go to a reputable rebuilder. There is no cheap way to rebuild these engines right. NONE. End of story.

There are NO brand new engines any more. The new engine assembly line in Japan has been shut down for a while. EVERY engine, even a "new" engine from a dealer is still a remanufactured engine. Every single one.

I've never seen a junkyard one priced higher than about $1,500, and he was smoking when he listed that price. Junkyard prices are typically around $700-$900.
So no, they aren't the same price.
