block to manifold gasket from mazdatrix...

Hi guys!

Just wanted to know if I order this from mazdatrix, will I get the required 2 gaskets or only one for ~120USD?

Did you try calling or emailing them?

Also, IIRC, its $120 EACH...and obviously there are two exhaust ports so you do the math.

Yes you need 2. Mazdatrix is overprice a bit

I use SCE gasket in my FD with twin knightsport and my friend use it in is GT35R FD.

It fit the FD even if is not say on the web page

The gaskets are not shitty. They are a multilayered stainless steel gasket that can be reused. AFAIK there is no better solution than to use OEM in this case.

I know what you mean and I know that they never fail... But they are really expensive... but ok... better expensive as, for example, some sr20det stock gaskets which are real ****

It's just a little bit shocking that all the gaskets cost more as a used set of twins

as for the reuseability... how often are they reusable or what are the indicators for a worn out gasket?
my gaskets are 50.000miles and 21years old, therefore they have to come new (like nearly every other part in the engine bay)

reusable until the gasket sealing surface becomes wrinkled and soaked with rust from the manifold. i rarely see the FD gaskets beat up to the point of unusable but some FC turbo gaskets are as they aren't induvidual and have a tendency to expand and shrink causing creases to form.

If you need new, then call Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda parts desk at (888) 533-3400, Mazdatrix is always over priced.
