Thank you, I'll PM him in a bit.
I meant "impressed" in the literal sense, as in having made an impression on you (like being surprised).

I bought a reman from dealership, should be here in a week...hopefully.
While searching for a block on line, i found 2 dealerships in WA and OK that carry part# N3H3-02-200R-V0 which is the remain for $1,800 and $1,600 respectably...too bad they didn't ship out =(

If I remember correctly, I going to need to replace some external gaskets on the block, does any know where can find a reasonably priced gasket kit for just the external pieces such as the water pump, etc, all the ones I find are for the internals?

Thanks in advanced.

List price is $2001.00 from Mazda...but I called around locally and most dealers are charging way more than that so you have to bring them down.

I paid a little bit over 2100 with taxes.
