Short Block replaced
Reading the CarFax on an 04 I want to purchase indicates the Short Block was replaced about 30K miles ago...
I did not know what that meant and searched the web ... very easy to find what it means for a piston engine. But even searching this forum I am unsure what it means for the Rotary. Does it mean the same as the core? Or does it mean the whole engine was replaced?
And is this a good thing for me if I buy this 8? It is out of warranty.
Thanks ...

The short block is basically the same as it would be on a piston engine...so basically it is the engine block stripped of everything that doesn't rotate when the motor is running...so intake manifolds, OMP, wiring harnesses, alternator etc etc
Finding an 04 in that area that hasn't had a rebuild is unlikely really....seems like the hot climates are rebuild heaven

Yes I am serious. Thanks, thats what I thought it meant. Because of This thread: FS. 20b short block
But I really know next to nothing about auto mechanics so I wanted to confirm.
