I woke up in a cold sweat last night having a nightmare about a tranny. Not the usual kind, but one of my transmission breaking because I'm an idiot who wants too much. After reading and searching a bit more, I'm scaling back the trubo goals to the 6758 with probably a conservative tune. I'd rather drive the car than have a dyno queen.

Thanks for pointing that out. I just searched a bit more and found that another user on mnet asked about the same thing. 1.6 engines didn't use the oring and the later 1.8s didn't use the gasket. I'll go back tomorrow and remove the gasket and put more RTV on it. And I had just gotten the oil pan back on today lol. Gonna have to re-seal that flange too, but there's the right way and the wrong way.

All Miatas run the o-ring. All of them (well, 89-05). Believe me, I had a 1.6, I left out the o-ring, you need it.
You could have left the paper gasket in, but if you're RTV'ing a gasket on both sides to make it properly seal, you don't need the gasket. So it was removed for later engines.

Had that happen trying to put in an exhaust gasket once. I squeezed too hard and it blew out the back. Of course the silicone was at body temperature so I didn't realize it until I felt something goopy on my arm. That took a while to clean up...

This is what we use at work exclusively. Comes with a handy tube roller that I hold on to for any future tubes. Really should bring one home for tooth paste...

One experience with this style of RTV applicator and you'll never **** around with another rollup tube again.

Not yet. Decided I'll trim some bolts when I get the hankering to pull all that back apart.
What Curly posted had me kind of perplexed. I fired up the old epc and looks like mazda went to the o-ringed pumps in '93. Heres a screenshot of '92. All pumps after that were non-gasket, according to the parts catalogue. I dont own a miata, and I am not challenging the post, just interesting none-the-less.
I come from the land of fwd BP powered cars and have had both variants of pumps
