check the head gaskets before you replace motor
No. It is, however, a reciprocating 4 cylinder, water-cooled 4-cycle (Otto cycle - spark ignition) piston motor. From the 1980's, the Mazda rotary (nee Wankel) engine has only been available in the RX- series (RX : Rotary Experimental). There currently exists a JDM rotary engine hybrid Mazda5 model, leased in very small numbers for research purposes.
Induction motor
There a bit old now a days and Mazda stopped making housings for them. Any wrecker should have one laying around. Check for compresson but l'd factor in the price of a rebuild when buying the motor.
There are a number of Mazda factories found in the continent of Europe. These include Mazda Suisse, Mazda Austria, Mazda Motor Italia, as well as Mazda Motor Europe.

if the miles on the engine aren't too high, then just replace the head gaskets. if the whole engine is tired go ahead and swap out the motor. its a lot cheaper to do the gaskets then to buy a new motor.
