Header gasket question
Is there supposed to be a gasket between the RB header and the engine block? I have a used one and about to install, but I want to make sure I have everything. Thanks!

as long as its in good condition, use the one you took off. if its in bad condition, run over to mazda and get one. without that gasket, you'll have a leaky header.

You're saying use the one that is behind the current manifold that I'm replacing?
