Hey, I have a 86 na and pulled my water pump housing, and i`m having trouble locating a new gasket, the one for the water pump is pretty common, but i pulled the housing off the block too

 

i've had to make my last like.. dozen. you can buy the material at advance-auto-zone'ielys, and cut it out to shape.

 

To "Answer" the question. You can only get it at a Dealer or Racing beat or Mazdatrix, or another rotary shop. You can also try blackdragonatuo but they probably will be more than the dealer.

Here is a website for a Mazda dealer that sells their parts much less usually than your local dealer.

www.mazdaautoparts.com

 

BlackDragon doesn't carry parts for 86-91 RX7s anymore, so they're out.

About halfway down the page.

 

dont forget them spacers.

 

n386-15-162a?

 

I got both gaskets when I ordered a new water pump from schucks (which is now orileys)

BUTTTTTTT that water pump kept going out on me. You might be able to just get the gasket.

 

I had to make mine by hand, as others stated. Works just as good and easy....I paid $6 for the material and 30 minutes of labor. Still have most of the roll left.

 

checked with o riely`s no joy, will try mazda trix or maybe i just need to make one?

 

It takes just a razor blade, sharpie marker and patience. Just make one.

 

went ahead and purchased from mazda trix got both gaskets and drain plug for $25, hopefully i wont strip the little plastic drain plug again

 

Mazdatrix = the ****

They're definitely on it with their shipping. I ordered some control arm bushings today around 2:00pm, and they had em shipped out by 7:30pm.

Good looks mazdatrix.

 

I used Permatex "The Right Stuff " on my pump to block and water neck.
Still holding strong.
And yeah! "dont forget them spacers"

 

what spacers do you mean?

 

Two small washers that go on the stud.
"Easiest way to remember where the water pump washers (or) spacers go, is they go on the studs where the gasket does *not* go. FSM Chapter 3 "Cooling", page 9, bottom of page. BTW, tightening torque of water pump assembly to front iron is 13-20 Ft-lb. "
