Compression Test and Warranty Questions
 

Awhile ago I posted about overheating the car badly and having no power. Well it never blew the coolant seals but I had to gut the cat. I never went in for a compression test because I didn't want to throw away $150 and also I had to leave the car with them for a couple days while they sourced a tester. Well one of my friends is a rotary nut and told me he could give me a rough compression test to at least let me know if its solid or done.

The result was Rotor 1 at 80ish PSI on all 3 faces and rotor 2 at 95ish psi on all 3 faces. I used a rotary calculator and if its accurate rotor 2 is just under passing and rotor 1 is screwedddddd.


My engine warranty expired a month ago and I called the mazda dealership to see if they can help me and they said they were going to source a tester and see if mazda would cover it. Has anyone be able to get mazda to cover a motor just outside of factory warranty?
