I know this has been discussed many times in this forum but wanted to ask again - looking for some help and advice in picking a good option, recent personal experiences etc
My engine has low compression in one of the rotors - just below Mazda specs (2006, MT, 57.5k miles). Also I autocross the car a lot and I notice lower torque as the engine heats up. So far here is what my search leads me to believe:
* Mazda OEM remanufactured engines are not great - compression all over the place and I even heard accounts of improperly assembled engines.
* Rebuilding my engine seems a better option - I want the peace of mind of a high quality build (does such a mythical thing exist). After reading through several posts - I identified Pineapple racing to be a good candidate. Mazdatrix is close to where I live but I can't find any engine build references. Any other options in SoCal or elsewhere?
* I am assuming that most parts will be new (except the core bits) - rotary housings etc.
Any comments will be really, really appreciated - I am not mechanically equipped to do the build myself and willing to spend a bit to do it right - rather than have to deal with a poor second engine.
(I have tried my best to keep the engine in good health over a period of time - regular plug changes, new coils, premix etc)
