Engines
Low mileage engines are usually available and pre-tested before supply. Also consider rebuilding and reconditioning your existing Mazda Bongo engine with brand new genuine (OE) parts. This option can often work out cheaper.
If you go for a reconditioned Mazda Bongo engine then following components of your existing engine must be free of cracks and or damage and capable of being re-machined:
- Cylinder head casting including camshaft, lifters and valve guides
- Cylinder block casting
- Crankshaft
- Connecting rods
If you are unsure and not very technical you may need to get the engine inspected to see what the best option is for you.
