OE headgasket question
Is it fibrous, or is it a coated-steel headgasket?
I've used Evans Coolant in a number of VWs with success, I'd like to do so with my new Miata. I ask because Evans is an oil, and it easily crept past the fibrous headgaskets and into the cylinders with my VWs. It wasn't a problem with the later 3-pc coated-metal headgaskets found in ABAs and similar.. If Mazda only offers fibrous gaskets, I might have to pony-up for a copper HG instead... Thanks. |
From what I've heard, the 99+ miata has a 3 layer steel gasket. All the ones before that are the composite gaskets.
|
94+ use a multilayer steel head gasket
|
Mines' a '97, good to know.
Thanks all. Edit-- To add; what online sources for OE parts do you all use? I'll be after a HG, front and rear main seals, tranny seals in the bell housing, T/O brg, clutch set, etc... Getting ready for an engine install. |
I like Rosenthal Mazda aka Finishline Performance http://www.finishlineperformance.com/store/home.php
and Trussville Mazda http://www.trussvillemazda.com/ |

Check that thread for several more sources for both OE and aftermarket parts |
Thanks again...
