UIM/TB gasket question
Hey guys, I bought my car at a bank auction a few years back, so I have no idea of the history of the car. It had 64K miles on it when I made the purchase. After doing some fiddling with the car I figured that it had been in a semi serious front end accident and also the color had been changed from red to black. I always just assumed it had the original engine though untill now. The other day I read that the original TB to UIM gaskets that mazda used were made of paper and that they switched to metal gaskets later on. I have a metal gasket. My car was manufactured sometime in 92. This kind of leads me to believe that possibly my engine is not the original one. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

The engine could also have been rebuilt. Look around the engine for VIN #s and hopefully match the body.

Actually I think it was Pettit (Cam) who told me that. He also said that they rarely replaced them (slackers). Mine were not replaced I had to do them myself. LIM was a pain in the butt.
