Is it just me or does that make no sense? They seem crap but three guys have them and had no problems???fieromx3 wrote:the valve cover gaskets seem crap... 3 guys bought the kit and have not a problem with them.
I would use Mazda genuine for the head gasket since it's hard to access without taking the engine out but valve cover gaskets, timing belts etc I would simply use aftermarket stuff like on ebay.

Holy... if you're going to go through the trouble of a head gasket, just do yourself a favor and go to Mazda for OEM s--- that you can trust

If you're swapping a low km motor, don't bother changing the head gasket IMO.ramsen25 wrote:should i even bother changing the head gasket since there r low k on the motor or thats wut they say, or maybe just change just in case

Re: gasket kit off ebay
i mean seriously it cost about 120 dollars to get every gasket/seal from the dealership...
Why buy the cheaper stuff and save like what 50-60 bucks?

if you have acess to an aircompresser, or a drill for that matter, just use a wire wheel..should polish it up nicelyRyan wrote:Whats the apropriate way to clean an gasket surface? I've been scraping my minor ones with razors, but I don't wanna mess up on the headgasket...
Re: gasket kit off ebay
Ya I bought mine from the Dealership with 20% off. No probs. Install them with the proper silicone. Its used on every corner. I actually placed a very small bead on my entire head surface. No leaks for me. Once you apply the silicone your suppose to wait 15 minutes before torquing down the covers. Its in the manual anyway. Rockauto is pretty good to.

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

ya all other gaskets SEEM good but even the headgaskets so far have been holding up but the valve cover ones have always leaked... just misunderstood me
