Title: What Gaskets are theses please?
Post by: leeroy_25 on October 01, 2008, 09:52:09 PM
Hi There,

Can someone please confirm what askets these are and if they are for the FD3 engine or not?
I am guessing from top left to bottom it is:
Exhaust manifold to block
Exhaust to CAT?
Not sure at all??

I am hoping the last one is the Lower Inlet Manifold gasket that fails? If so is this the type I need to replace mine with?
Thank you
Lee

Top 2 are correct.
Bottom one looks like a lower intake gasket...but it dont look like an FD one...port sizes on the outside look wierd :S

Bottom gasket is for an RX8 6 port high power 231ps engine.

Thank you

carl has pulled more engines than most, but I still think its a FC.
here are PDF\'s from the Mazda EPC program that Mazda themselves use. This is where I got the info from.

But I could be wrong?

Allof the earlier 6 port gaskets are not metal type.
