I'm currently researching what preventative mods I can do for the new motor.
) It was a last minute decision right before a road trip. I still need to find out what tool I need for the cartridge oil filters. I have done much more to cars than you know. I change the oil all the time on the miata, replaced the clutch, tranny (for fun cuz I had a spare 6spd), water pump, timing belt, alternator (just the other day), put in a new built motor (built by a spec miata shop), among other small things like o2 sensors, intake, exhaust, etc.
lawl Hiding in fear of the inevitable...

There's only 4 cross links, maybe there's more but from what I've gathered reading on them, they're all pretty bad cases imo. Only one of them seemed to hold water and even then, not much information was posted on it other then "it blew up". 1 was taken in as a used car, like our poor girl here, another was driving on 87 gas, and the last one supposedly went through 4 motors in 3 years. Still, not gonna say that none of the stock motors blows, but at least SOMEONE finally posted up some examples, albeit not very good ones. It still seems like a relatively rare occurrence though despite these examples.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Honestly, the majority of CX-7 drivers are not enthusiasts. They do their oil changes at the dealer and take their recommendations as fact. I mod on that forum and I can't tell you how many people have come on saying "the dealer says that 5w20 is fine for my car" or do oil changes every 8,000 miles. The fact that there are so many timing tensioners failing on CX-7 suggests that maintenance is a contributing factor to the failures you see. You also have the shady dealers that tell people with smoking turbos that they need a new engine. "That'll be $10,000, please." Not saying that if you look, you won't find people who's engines exploded, but it'd be like finding a unicorn... | |

| Not Ranked : 0 score Nice to have a CX-7 mod around here. Was there a known issue with the CX-7 timing chain for early engines? I remember reading something about that. Seems that the complete loss of compression some CX-7s have is due to a broken timing chain or skipped timing. That being said, a hole in a piston of a stock car does not sound like a power related failure because: 1. It likely happened within a short period of time. The car did not just run with a hole in the piston for any amount of time so it was not a progressive failure now can be blame the hole being there when the OP bought the car. 2. The car was stock when this happened. 3. Hole in piston failures on a stock motor indicate something was wrong with the motor - either fuel delivery or some sort of strange preignition due to debris in the chamber. In any case, there's no sense in being paranoid because if this is going to happen to you it will happen stock or modded. So just enjoy the car while you have it!

And don't worry about getting rid of me. I was only on to sell my AP. I have been done with this forum for a long time due to proliferation of twats like yourself. There has always been good information here as long as you know how to wade through all the childish garbage this site contains. To the OP, I feel your pain and sorry for your loss but in the end you will be better off with a new motor and a new warranty to go with it (assuming they will give a 12 month warranty on their work). | |

I've been convinced for the longest time that the torque converter is saving CX-7's from putting a rod through the block (no crank walk)... | |

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score I am SUPER happy with the outcome. I just got a call from the service manager and the Mazda rep: the motor will be in today and they are going to replace the turbo as well due to damage from the metal shavings when the piston got a hole blown in it. They went on to say that an over rev in the car's history caused the damage. The valves were bent. I'm not sure if he meant to imply that I over revved the motor but I know I have not. No worries though, I'll have a new motor soon and will baby it the same as I started with the old motor. North Park Mazda wins a well deserved high recommendation from me.
The thing about the RX-8s original problem was the fact that A) Mazda tried to make them as clean as possible, a hard thing to do since the motor is designed to burn oil to keep the Apex seals lubricated B) As such, the Oil Metering Pumps were starving the motor of oil in efforts to keep the emissions clean. There were other miscellaneous problems, but none as catastrophic. You are right in saying rotaries have to be driven at high RPMs to keep them healthy. The reason for that is that if too much carbon builds up it can damage the engine/seals. Revving the motors high keeps the carbon from building up. That being said the biggest problems with motors failing was with the automatic cars because the transmissions kept the motors at low RPMs. Jeez, maybe looking at all this I should get away from Mazda and go to Toyota, where the cars run forever...literally! The damn things won't stop! LAWL

| Not Ranked : 0 score Although you're angry and probably consider yourself unlucky here. I consider you the luckiest person alive!! Brand new engine right before the warranty expired. And don't they re-extend the warranties again on new engines? Wow, you are incredibly fortunate. If I was you I would have been hoping it blew before that warranty expired b/c you HAD an unknown on your hands. Now you don't.

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score wat?? ![]() New engine AND turbo. Turbos don't last a lifetime either ![]() I'm not angry I am very happy. This could have turned out much worse, and as you guys have pointed out, I'm better off than if I'd just have the old motor. ![]() The said the warranty on the new motor/turbo is going to be 12mos or 12K. Believe me, I asked.

| Not Ranked : 0 score So the valves were bent on top of there being a hole in the piston? This is sounding fishier and fishier. These cars have solid lifters so there's no valve float damage. How the hell are the valves going to bend due to "over-rev"? If you were driving around with bent valves you'd know it. The only other possibility is jumped timing. So here's my take on it. There was no "hole in the piston." You had a sweet bent or broken rod that sent the piston into the head which bent the valves and shattered the piston. You sure you didn't see a trail of oil down the highway? I would be skeptical of someone's blown motor analysis that tells me at some point in the past, the motor revved to the point that the valves bent and not mention timing being off. It's not related to hole in the piston either - a piston does not get a hole in it by touching a valve unless it is pounded by a broken rod. Something is not adding up but glad you got taken care of.

came from the regional Mazda rep that had to approve the motor install. It's all speculation after the fact anyways. How can you over rev a motor at well under redline?Seriously? Why would I NOT want to run synthetic? Why would I NOT want to change the oil at sooner than manufacturer recommended intervals? Why would I NOT want to run Chevron 93? Why would I NOT want to let the turbo cool before shutdown? I could go on, but maybe you have a different idea of "babying it" than I do.

I’m having a difficult time figuring out how you actually confused my question the way you did but anyhow you did, big time. If you do have plans to “baby it” meaning, not running the engine hard for a prescribed time; I would advise you do some research on other methods that have proven to be much better for engine break in. They don’t include “babying it” though. There's a thread here on the forum about it. P.S. What makes you think Chevron 93 is any more superior then say Shell 93 or others? | |

There is a obvious problem with the motor. It kind of makes me feel a little better that the problems are occuring with stock vehicles as well...because now I know I'm not digging my own grave by modding (I did blow up last year...but the cause was known). I guess ya just gotta hope for the best and that you have the super duper rods

| Not Ranked : 0 score I agree on the not babying it. I'm a firm believer in breaking an engine in (properly) hard. You only have a short time on a new engine for the rings to seat properly. Probably less than the first 30 miles. In that time I recommend several hard runs (probably don't need to go over 5k rpm's though) through the gears. Don't abuse it, but definitely run some good hard runs to seat those rings right. If you don't do it by then, then you missed your opportunity. You get ONE shot at it! Don't miss it. Doing it this way yields some really nice benefits. There is a thread here, but Google it and there are websites that go into great detail. p.s. I agree the term "babying it" has absolutely nothing to do with maintenance and usually means putt-putting around.

| Not Ranked : 0 score For an over rev to affect the valve timing you would have to rev it to over 8500rpm, there would be a hole in the block long before there are any issues with valve float. I doubt the rod bolts are even rated to 8500rpm.

Essentially, you can do one of two things: follow break-in instructions that were written and published by engine techs with 100's of years of experience combined, or follow the advice of a handful of internet self-proclaimed performance gurus.
