4-year no-fault nationwide warranty — includedOn gas engines in non-commercial use, at no extra charge. The builder’s standard cover is 3 years, parts only. Every gas engine we sell includes the 4-year no-fault warranty with labour, at no extra charge.
- “No fault” means we do not investigate why it failed — if a covered engine fails inside the term, it is covered.
- Labour is paid up to CAD $95.00 per hour — a cap on the rate, not a flat payout — and only for the remove-and-replace hours in the Mitchell labour guide. Diagnostic time is covered up to 2 hours, and fluids up to CAD $200.00. Towing and a rental car are not covered. Anything not listed here needs to be agreed with us before the work starts.
- The 4 years start the day the engine is installed, and a claim needs proof that a professional shop installed it.
- Unlimited kilometres, and no deductible.
- Call us before any warranty work starts, so we can authorise it. Labour paid on a repair we were not asked about first is not covered.
- A claim starts with a call to us. We file it with the manufacturer, and the manufacturer pays it.
Diesel engines, and engines put into commercial service, are not covered by this 4-year warranty — the terms vary by engine, so call us for the terms on the unit you’re pricing.

Mazda F-Series Four (1.8 / 2.0 / 2.2)
Also known as: F-series, F8, FE, F2, F2T, 2.2 turbo, 626 four
Overview & history
The F-series was Mazda's mid-size four-cylinder through the 1980s and 1990s, filling the gap above the small B-series. It arrived in the mid-1980s as an iron-block, belt-driven overhead-cam engine and was built in 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2-litre displacements. Its main home was the 626 and its coupe sibling the MX-6, but it also did duty in Mazda's B2000 and B2200 compact pickups and — thanks to the Ford-Mazda partnership — in the first-generation Ford Probe. The most interesting member is the F2T, a turbocharged 2.2-litre that gave the 626 GT and Probe GT genuinely quick performance for the late 1980s, making around 145 horsepower at a time when most mid-size fours struggled past 110. Later F-series engines picked up 12-valve and twin-cam heads. The family was gradually replaced by the FS and then the MZR fours as Mazda modernised its range.
