Ordering was simple and I could split the payment, no problem. Delivery was quicker than expected — and you don't pay freight or send the old motor back. Engine was nice and clean on inspection. Very happy with it.

Engine was a good match. Just done the 500km break-in oil change and it's running well. Got the car back on the road fairly quickly — wouldn't hesitate to go this way again. Thanks guys.

As advertised, perfect fitment. Awesome warranty, delivered in 2 days. Somehow it was cheaper and easier to get this new crate engine supplied and delivered than it was to source a second-hand engine. Have recommended to others.

Bought a crate motor for my Hyundai i30 — so far done 30,000km and it hasn't skipped a beat. Would buy again if I needed to.

Very easy to order and get sent straight to my house. When it arrived there was no damage to the packaging and it was very secure on the crate. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a new crate engine.

Option What to consider
Brand-new long motor A new engine foundation with a defined supply list. Budget separately for installation, fluids and any external components requiring replacement.
Used engine Ask for service history, condition evidence and written cover. Compare the total installed cost and included accessories.
Rebuild the original Have the workshop assess damage, machining requirements, parts availability and the complete repair quote.

04 / Installation planning

Resolve the cause. Prepare the replacement.

Check the PCV system, oil pressure, cooling circuit and intake equipment when diagnosing the old engine. Inspect timing and VVT-related components and any reused accessories. Follow the supplied installation and run-in requirements.

01 / BEFORE FITTING

Diagnose the original failure

Low power, smoke, oil consumption or overheating need proper diagnosis. A symptom alone does not establish that the long motor is the failed component.

02 / DURING INSTALLATION

Follow the correct procedure

Use a qualified mechanic, correct fluids and filters, and the supplied installation instructions. Check external components before reusing them.

03 / AFTER FIRST START

Document commissioning

Follow the supplied run-in and service schedule. Retain fitting invoices, checks and service records for future support.

Mazda 6 2.3L engine replacement FAQs

Is this Mazda 6 2.3L engine new?

Yes. This listing is for a brand-new long motor or long block, not a used engine or a rebuild of your original motor. No core exchange is required.

Will this fit the Mazda 6 MPS?

This page is for selected naturally aspirated 2.3L Mazda 6 applications. A turbocharged Mazda 6 MPS requires its separately matched L3-VDT replacement.

What is included?

Brand-new L3 long motor comprising the engine block, cylinder head and internal engine assembly. Transfer the required original manifolds and bolt-on accessories after inspection. Confirm fuel equipment, sensors, wiring, sump, mounting and transmission attachments with the installer; external accessories are not promised as part of this long motor.

What should I send to confirm fitment?

Send the VIN or chassis number, build date, engine-code photograph and clear photos of the original engine. Your installer should compare the attachment points and external equipment.

Does the warranty include installation labour?

The included one-year warranty is product cover, not labour cover. Read the published warranty terms and installation requirements before fitting.

When should I book installation?

Confirm current supply timing and the delivery estimate for your postcode first. Allow preparation time before dispatch and agree the fitting date once arrival timing is clear.
