Anyone tried an Ebay head gasket set?
Hey guys,
I will be having the head rebuilt soon, and am debating between the OEM gaskets and the ones I see on Ebay. Anyone advise one of the aftermarket ones or should i just do it right and go with the Mazda ones? Thanks |
see if the prices at performanceimportparts.net aren't cheaper.

Have used both of these with no problems. Match up the holes on the old one to be sure.

I have found that the aftermarket valve stem seals for the Miata are junk. Go OEM for those.

Yeah I'd go OE as Rich said I ordered a generic MLS gasket and it was missing the oil port cut out for the head...but my dumb ass was drunk when I put the head gasket on *NEVER DO IT AGAIN* so I junked a head (scared cam journals)
so I'm waiting on a head from this place called Maz-Max (horrible service so far) so I can get it to the machine shop. |
RusMan is using an ebay gasket set.... at least he bought one.
