Found a nice little suprise in my engine bay today.

Today I was cleaning the engine bay of my car, not spraying it with water, but using degreaser, rags, everything.

And twords the end of my cleaning I found that Mazda had gone the extra yard with their craftsmanship and stamped little Mazda logos into the housings.

I know, welcome to 1982, but I just found it today and I am pretty excited about my shinny Mazda stamped housings.

Yeah they went even further and put extra holes in the housings in a special few to accomodate 4 spark plugs instead of 2, lol

Really four spark plugs you say?

Its because the top of my engine where the rats nest covers has always been dirty, and so there where lumps and shapes in the grease but I never looked at it. Then when I cleaned it all off I saw the Mazda logo.
