Right guys. How simple is it to rebuild a 13-REW? I\'m a spanner monkey so i have a good understanding of where things go how to take em apart and so on but how easy are the rotor lumps to rebuild? Do you rekon i could do it?

I\'ve never even taken an engine out or rebuilt one before and i did mine last year. Done 5000miles since and still going like a champ. If your mechanically minded, it\'s straight forward, nothing out the ordinary, piece of pi$$ so to speak. I have a rebuild dvd if your interested. Email me at robbie.bezzaford AT gmail.com

yeah theres nothing mysterious about these engines. Ive done my own and its still going (albeit in someone elses car).
As long as you are careful and can measure tolerances and wear, you wont have a problem...

Engine removal wouldnt be a problem as that part doesnt bother me it was just the general rebuild side of things. If its that easy then i should be ok. Is there any mauals that state what tolerence your allowed and everything else?

All the tolerances are in the Mazda factory service manual. The dvd just shows you the neat tricks and cheats that the factory service manual fail to show.
