Ok. I trying to get a parts list and price on all the parts i need for a rebuild.

Mazda no longer makes the s4 tII gasket kit?

Whats the best/cheapest place to find this kit?

 

I have been buying the S4 non turbo kit (usually from Atkins) and making the intake gaskets myself.

 

most people buy the o ring kit, and the intake gasket, its cheaper, but you dont get the turbo gaskets and stuff

 

i dontr need the metal turbo gaskets.
SO my best bet is to get the o-ring kit and the intake gasket kit seperately from napa or whatever?
Thanks guys!

they have one OEM kit left

 

i Think im going to part my own one. Thanks.

 

OK. SO let me get this right. Because I dont want to waste any money on extra parts.

A normal gasket kit for an n/a s4 comes with the o-ring kit(aka water seal kit)?
SO if i buy the s4 n/a gasket kit for 217$ I would not need to purchase the water seal kit for 140, right?

Here is how my list is looking so far for rebuild parts.
(01) Gasket kit (inlcudes water seal kit?)
(12) side seal springs
(12) corner seals w rubber ins.
(12) FD corner seal springs
(04) outer oil control o-rings
(04) inner oil control o-rings
(06) apex seals w/ short and longs springs.


It will be my first rebuild. Not thinkin about side seals nor the 4 pairs of 2 oil control rings. nor bearings. NoT, Unless they in horrible conditions. The engine runs pretty strong still its just showing signs of it wearing out plus the hot start is a pain in the ***! But hopefully most parts will be reusable.

 

This is the gasket kit im planning on buying.

The 159$ is "aftermarket".
The OEM is 275$.

Has anyone had problems with the cheaper kit? Are atkins o-rings(waterseals) weaker than OEM? ( i think they use the "viton" on the cheaper kit)
