What does the dealer and the Mazda reman plant do for cleaning - do they:
1) clean the coolant channels on reused irons
2) clean the SSV and other ports leading to/from engine (mazdaverx8 I think had to do all that himself on his MAzda reman replacement engine)
(3) ...

Looks good so far. They have done a good job of cleaning the housing. What we dont know is things like clearances.
My rebuild had a lot of extras such as steel apex seal, billet studs, extra dowels, porting to exhaust, upgraded side seals and may other upgrades.
Its a simple engine and you can spend more money on a bunch of upgrades for little gain.

So Paul, according to sleep-z (employee at reman plant) they did not always use new rotors or housings, he said it was dependent on condition. What have you seen in this regard? My last reman only lasted 24k or so and had a failed coolant seal, Rob at Pineapple said it looked like it happened during assembly.

And this is why I bought a reman a few months ago. I believe I read on Banzai's site that they now come with new rotors and housings. I haven't done a compression test on mine (I've got two track weekends on it now) yet, but it seemed awfully nice out of the box. I'll do one this week, though notapreppie's compression tester is highly suspect. :P
