Okay to all the people saying continue driving it.. the car has 95k on it. How about not even thinking of driving on it and pulling the engine. Why do more internal damage when it isn't necessary?

 

I have a spare short-block, so we're preparing to swap it thisweekend.

Is there a "kit" or "gasket kit" for such a job ?

Thanks in advance,

:-) neil

 

yes there is but youll also have to buy a few random gaskets as well
call ray crowe tell him yanni sent you and tell him to think of all the possible gaskets youll need and he'll do it hes good. easy when you have a fd and work at mazda
