Wow, it's been a while since I've been on here.
First of all, I'm so sorry to hear about all your problems Erik.
Ok...
So not to threadjack but....
Just took my car in about 2 weeks ago for being low on power. After some runaround and them saying it was bad spark plugs and a bad coil....
Front rotor 99.4, 99.6, 104
Rear rotor 108, 107, 111
They said that 98 psi was their "time for a new motor" spec. So the front rotor will be there in a few thousand mile I'm guessing.
I'm really scared about getting a "new" motor after reading this thread.
What should I do? Will I really get a new motor?
I got my car at Berge, and get it serviced there. Who should I talk to?

Relax G-Rat I think I've taken all the bad luck from this side of the world.
Hey,, Just go and ask for Vince, (at Berge) he's my service writer. Tell him what the problem is and tell him you want Karl to work on it.
Just tell Vince my name and say I told him to help you, then watch him run.
As far as the engine goes you will be getting a new one from Mazda.
(This has not been publicly stated by Mazda to my knowledge, but I have heard it from some reliable sources.)
As will anybody else who needs a new engine.
I am understanding that Williams Technologies is not doing anymore Rotary Re-manufactured Engines. I also understand that Mazda will be sending NEW ENGINES out to customers whose engines fail testing.

Yes, as in the FC and FD guys that call up wanting a reman...wonder what they will be getting, if what you say is true. Surely mazda is going to move the reman program to a different subcontractor, instead of just cutting them out altogether as you suggest.

G-rat- Just like Erick said call Vince at Berge mazda and Ask for me (karl) to work on your car. When you come to bring your car in tell vince to let me know so I can talk with you about the issues with your car.
Rotaryresurrection-These new motors that Mazda is sending out are part of the reman program which is why they have the blue reman tag on them. Mazda does not paint anything on the new motors, and the front cover/water pump are brand new which is why they are really shiny.

...but if the bare aluminum front cover is "new, that is why it is really shiny" and the bare aluminum rotorhousings, also supposedly new, are dull, then...

I know is the Engine is NEW. I will take my camera with me today and try to take some real pics. But chances are he will have it installed today. So the pics I would like to get will not be available due to accessories installed on the engine.
Perhaps MM will have a chance to look it over and comment further today.
As far as the front cover and the housings they are two different parts, why should they have the same finish?

Power!!
Ah thanks. I've never had much experience with autos. Something about them sucking I guess. 
j/k
Seriously though it does look like something out of a '78 Ford Crown Vic and looks really out of place on that shiny new engine. You learn something new every day.
Hope this one is working out for you Easy!
