Can you help me ID the following gaskets and stud (F) in the attached pictures ?

Before I call Mallory Mazda, I'd like to give them either a good description or the actual Mazda part number.

This is what I have so far, including any sealant I may use:

1st Picture
========
A) Upper Intake Manifold Gasket ?, pn# ? Hylomar
B) ? Gasket, pn# ?, Wurth Exhaust Assembly Paste
C) ? Gasket, pn# ?, Wurth Exhaust Assembly Paste
D) Rear turbo intake air duct gasket, pn# ?, Wurth Exhaust Assembly Paste
E) Front turbo intake air gasket ? , pn# ?, Wurth Exhaust Assembly Paste
F) stud for ??, pn# ?

2nd Picture
========
Gasket (if any) for thermostat cover, pn#, anaerobic sealant

Thanks,

FWIW: here's a link to the Wurth Exhaust Assembly Paste:

As was mentioned, there is no gasket for the filler neck. The thermostat has an O-ring that takes care of sealing. You also do not need "assembly paste" for any of these parts. Here are the part numbers you requested:

A) N3A1-13-112
B-E) All use the same gasket: N3A1-13-712
F) 99851-0616A

This board is awesome.

Thanks!

BTW: is there some manual, CD, or microfiche I can get that has all the parts, their diagram, and pn#'s all in one place ? If so, source ?

I have a paper-version, but you can find the online Parts Fiche (as well as lots of other good documents) at http://www.iluvmyrx7.com/

Most times, if you can describe the gasket well enough, just call Ray at Malloy Mazda and tell him what you're looking for. He can look stuff up in a jiffy.

As stated, you don't need any sort of sealant for any of those gaskets. DEFINITELY not on the rubber seal that goes around the thermostat - that just creates a failure point.

I hope your engine isn't already out of the car, Neil!

I agree with saxyman990, download the parts catalog and you'll never have to ask again.

I second that. Getting the part numbers yourself is even more awesome. The best yet, is looking up the p/n's, getting prices from www.mazdapartscheap.com, and ordering from Malloy and getting them for 10% less and free shipping.

In case anyone ever needs part numbers/prices on the tranny, PM me and I'll give you a comprehensive list.

When I purchased the RX7 about a month ago, I got it with a spare engine from an automatic RX7. The spare engine has about 30-miles on it.

Since I'm new to the rotory engine, it also let's me practice how to take things apart, and forsee anything I may not have (e.g., gaskets), or what else I should do while working on the original engine (has 98K miles).

For example, I'm going to install an Efnin Y-pipe, but while I'm in there I'm going to replace some vacuum lines, install my additional coolant sensor; and replace the turbo coolant lines (unless someone tells me otherwise). Anything else ?

My current engine leaks oil at the oil-pan, oil-level sender, OMP o-ring; and right/passenger-side motor mount. Under hard acceleration a nice blue smoke comes out. All of this has lead to engine oil consumption of about 1 quart of oil every 2 tank-fulls because I'm always on the boost once it is warmed-up.

Perhaps I should just convert the "automatic" engine to a manual one (to do it properly I'll need to change rear rotor housings and flywheel); do all the reliability mods; and just swap engines.

Unfortunately, the current 98K mile engine has the following boost pattern: 12-8-12.
The only mods are:
cheap bastard intake; JDM downpipe; Greddy/Trust cat-back muffler; and a M2 Stage III ECU.

Perhaps I should just drive the original engine, and fix the oil-leaks.

does any one have the parts diagrams hosted any where. I can't fine the link at either of the links posted and mazda parts cheap isn't bringing up an illustration for the parts I'm looking for. Jack
