I'm trying to decide if I should fix my motor or buy a Mazda reman. To fix my motor I need 2 rotors, a rotor housing, and front and intermediate housings. Rotors and rotor housings are about $500 each new. What about the front and intermediate housings? I would also need apex seals ($400?) and gaskets $$$?? I could buy a reman with new rotors and housings for $2000. I'm trying to figure out the best approach. Unless I find quality used parts, the reman will be cheeper.

Maybe you'll get lucky like Rikki. His last reman from there had all Brand new parts! No bullshit.
